How to Use Sludge Bomb

Aim Ahead of Target

Pokemon UNITE - Venusaur Using Sludge Bomb

Much like Seed Bomb, try to manually aim Sludge Bomb ahead of where the target is going. In most cases, this ensures that Sludge Bomb hits the target.

Zone Out Enemies

Cast Sludge Bomb on tight spaces like entrances, slowing the enemies' movement speed and discouraging enemies from moving forward. This is most effective when zoning out enemies from boss Pokemon like Zapdos or while scoring goals.
