Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Torrent | Choice Specs |
The Ability chosen for Inteleon is Torrent, which gives it an additional damage boost when it is at low health. Choice Specs is the Held Item of choice, as it can further boost Inteleon's Special Attack.
Hydro Pump | Ice Beam |
Shadow Ball | U-turn |
Hydro Pump is Inteleon's most powerful STAB option, but it comes at the cost of lower accuracy.
Ice Beam is an excellent coverage move, which hits plenty of types for super-effective damage, including Grass-types and Dragon-types.
Shadow Ball is a useful coverage move, as Ghost hits most types for neutral damage
And lastly, U-Turn is a way to pivot out of the active spot, while also dealing damage. This is useful for breaking Focus Sashes.

Full Special Attack and Speed EV investment is necessary so that Inteleon can hit hard and as fast as possible, with the remaining 4 EVs in Special Defense to increase its Special bulk.
Do remember, though, that even with full Special Attack investment and Choice Specs, Inteleon's Shadow Ball will not OHKO Gholdengo or Flutter Mane, while they can OHKO Inteleon themselves.
Snipe Shot | Deals less damage than Hydro Pump, but ignores redirection and other effects. |
---|---|
Air Slash | Air Slash is useful for Flying-weak Pokemon, like Grass-types. |
Dark Pulse | Dark Pulse is a solid coverage option, with Dark hitting most types for neutral damage with a chance of flinching. |

Game8's Competitive Damage Calculator
Inteleon sits at a comfortable 120 Base Speed Stat, which is very good, but is outsped by a good number of Pokemon. Learning which Pokemon Inteleon can and cannot outspeed is important for playing this Pokemon.
While Critical Hits are the main gimmick of Inteleon's Sniper set, it is important to not rely solely on it, and sometimes opt to use reliable and consistent damage.
Inteleon appreciates teammates that can help it against Pokemon that wall it or outspeed it. Quick and powerful teammates are good to have, making Inteleon a good Pokemon to slot into offense-oriented teams.
Special Attacker | Special Attacker | Special Attacker |
---|---|---|
Flutter Mane | Inteleon | Chi-Yu |
Flutter Mane can handily take care of Dragon-types that Inteleon may have trouble breaking through, while Chi-Yu can help against Grass and Steel-types. Inteleon can take out Ground-types and Rock-types that may try to wall its teammates.
Special Attacker | Special Attacker |
---|---|
Inteleon | Iron Bundle |
Physical Attacker | Support / Redirection |
Ting-Lu | Amoonguss |
Booster Energy Iron Bundle makes a good partner for Inteleon, as it offers the quickest Icy Wind in the game. This will allow Iron Bundle to outspeed Pokemon like Flutter Mane and KO it. Ting-Lu is great for reducing the field's Special Attack with its Vessel of Ruin Ability, which Inteleon can ignore because it can Crit through the debuff.
Amoonguss is useful for redirecting super-effective Attacks away from the rest of the team.
Inteleon, while fast at Base 120 Speed, is outsped by other quicker and more powerful attackers. These include Flutter Mane and Meowscarada, who both outspeed and have the capability to OHKO Inteleon.
Wo-Chien is also built to take on Pokemon like Inteleon, with its Tablets of Ruin Ability debuffing Inteleon's damage output, it is likely to outlast its much frailer foe.
Pokemon | Description |
---|---|
Flutter Mane | Ranking: ★★★★★
・Can outspeed Inteleon and KO with its STAB options. ▶️Flutter Mane Best Movesets |
Wo-Chien | Ranking: ★★★★
・Can wall Inteleon and outlast it with its toolkit. ▶️Wo-Chien Best Movesets |
Meowscarada | Ranking: ★★★★
