PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Confusion or Water Gun + Psychic Fangs and Aqua Tail

Confusion deals more damage than Water Gun, but Water Gun's far speedier duration and different coverage can be useful. Bite is a rather poor Fast Attack, but may find a niche in certain cups.

Psychic Fangs is Bruxish's bread and butter, amplifying its already potent Fast Attack pressure. Aqua Tail is another cheap STAB option and provides good coverage with Bruxish's strong Psychic-type attacks. Crunch is a valid option to smash opposing Psychic and Ghost-type Pokemon.

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 2 / 5

Although Bruxish packs a formidable moveset, it suffers from poor bulk and mediocre typing. In the Open Great League, it falls prey to numerous common enemies. It also faces competition from Slowbro, who possesses the same typing but has much greater bulk. Nonetheless, Bruxish can find itself occasionally shining in certain cups. In rulesets where Fast Attack pressure is not prevalent, Bruxish can be a menace in extended battles thanks to its consistent damage output and access to Psychic Fangs to debuff opponents through their shields.

Ultra League: 2 / 5

Same deal with Great League really. It is a bit bulkier here, but it's not enough to save it from its numerous weaknesses.

Master League: 0 / 5

Its signature ability, Dazzling, can perhaps let it find a niche on certain te...oops wrong game. Don't use Bruxish in Master League.
