Best moves by target: crowds, bosses and support

Guide updated

For early crowds choose Water Gun’s piercing line, Razor Leaf’s return path or Petal Blizzard’s nearby ring. For a moving boss use Confusion’s homing attack; Psybeam suits an unobstructed line. After a Bond, Swords Dance adds damage support, Aqua Ring recovery or Harden defense. Learnability, range and real contacts decide which choice works.

Water Gun14 / 0.44 sEarly line clearing: one pierce from level 1; aim a pack along its path.Power
Razor Leaf10 / 0.9 sCrowds on both legs; each boomerang can contact a target twice, not every enemy twice.Reflexes
Petal Blizzard14 / 0.26 sNearby crowd ring; orbs require actual contacts. No damage to a boss outside the ring.Synthesis
Vine Whip19 / 0.62 sClose crowd clearing and active melee reduction; use pack edges, not the center.Power
Confusion13 / 0.58 sBoss pressure while moving: homing projectile. Psyduck starts with it despite its Water learn pool.Reflexes
Psybeam17 / 1.15 sStraight beam: align targets; walls stop it and each target is hit once per cast.Power
Swords Dance— / 0.85 sDamage support after a Bond; deals no direct damage when alone in the active slot.—
Aqua Ring— / 0.9 sRecovery support for Water partners; pair with Water Gun after earning a Bond.—
Harden— / 0.85 sNormal-pool defense support; learnable broadly, but still needs a damage attack.—

Named evolution recipes

After meeting both conditions, select the gold evolution card. Purchased permanent Attack/Cooldown upgrades do not satisfy these run-card conditions.

Make the comparison fair

Compare the same move level, Pokémon attack multiplier, cards, item, target type and weather. Water Gun at level 1 deals 14 per hit with 0.44 s cooldown and pierces one extra target; Ember deals 18 per hit with 0.52 s and burn. That does not prove Ember always wins: piercing, burns, resistances and missed contacts change the result. An orbit’s cooldown/contact timer is not reduced by every ordinary cooldown bonus.
