Acid Spray

This build focuses on making Bellibolt tankier, and restoring HP with Parabolic Charge to stay in combat longer.

Acid Spray reduces the opponent's Special Defense by two stages, allowing Bellibolt to deal more damage with Parabolic Charge, and gain more HP from it as well.

Soak changes the opponent's type to Water, making them 2x weak to Parabolic Charge, which will allow Bellibolt to go up against any Pokemon, even Ground types.

How to Use Bellibolt Effectively

Capitalize on Electromorphosis' damage boost

Whenever Bellibolt gets hit by an attack, it enters a charged state thanks to Electromorphosis. When Charged, Bellibolt's Electric type moves deal double their base damage, allowing you to hit even harder.

Combined with its natural bulkiness, Bellibolt can catch opponents off guard with its high damage output, or outlast opponents with the healing from Parabolic Charge.

How to Build a Team with Bellibolt

Bellibolt packs amazing firepower, but isn't an ideal sweeper due to its low speed and overall weakness against Ground type Pokemon.

Use Bellibolt as a bulky pivot instead, since it can output good amounts of damage, while still able to take hits from its natural tankiness.

Sample Balanced Team

Lead Setter Bulky Pivot Physical Sweeper
Glimmora ImageGlimmora Bellibolt ImageBellibolt Mimikyu ImageMimikyu

Sample Bulky Team

You can also use Bellibolt as a Lead Tank when running its Parabolic Charge build.

With Substitute and Parabolic Charge, you can stall and deal damage to the enemy team while you wait for an opening for your sweepers.

Counters for Bellibolt

Stop Bellibolt with Ground type Pokemon

Bellibolt's main damaging moves are mostly Electric type, in order to maximize the boost from Electromorphosis. Stop Bellibolt in its tracks by sending out Ground type Pokemon who are immune to Electric attacks.
