Oricorio (Pompom) is an Electric & Flying Pokémon. It is vulnerable to Rock and Ice moves. Oricorio's strongest moveset is Air Slash & Hurricane and it has a Max CP of 2,333.
"This Oricorio has drunk red nectar. If its Trainer gives the wrong order, this passionate Pokémon becomes fiercely angry."
Air Slash provides a balance of damage output and energy generation, and also benefits from STAB. Pound is terrible and can't be Super Effective.
Oricorio suffers from the lack of any coverage option. Aerial Ace is the best option due to its lesser energy cost, enabling it to be used more often to pressure shields. Air Cutter deals almost the same damage but costs more energy, making it a downgrade. Hurricane is not required, but it has a niche when shields are down, assuming Oricorio survives long enough to use it.
The Pom-Pom style of Oricorio sports an Electric subtyping. Unfortunately without any coverage options or utility this Pokemon has very poor performance in the meta. It's not very fast or bulky either.
Oricorio can only expect wins against Pokemon weak to Flying-type attacks, which to its credit, do exist. Unfortunately it's not good against the overall meta, so save your Stardust.
Pom-Pom Oricorio is great for cheering on your opponent. Because at the end of the day, it's not about winning, it's about having fun.
