Best moves & build plan

Editorial build advice

Start with Metal Claw; try Flash Cannon as another active attack and prioritize attack and cooldown upgrades. This is an editorial build suggestion.

Notable available moves

The moves below come from this partner’s source move pool. Damage and cooldown are the base fields in that snapshot; they are not a measured damage-per-second result. Only the currently selected move slot attacks. The available pool uses Normal moves, the partner’s types and any explicit starting-move exception.

Evolution & related forms

The official repository does not provide species evolution chains. This guide therefore lists no species evolution links. Move evolution is a separate in-game system.

Better alternatives of the same type

These partners share at least one type and sit in a strictly higher editorial tier. Compare their moves before swapping; a higher tier is a starting point for a decision.
