Competitive Analysis

Sludge Bomb has the secondary effect of having a 30% chance to inflict poison on the target. This move is recommended to use due to its high base power, perfect accuracy, and wide distribution.

Sludge Bomb vs Sludge Wave

Sludge Wave targets all Pokemon in Doubles, including your Ally, so it might be better to use Sludge Bomb, pair with a Steel-type Pokemon, or a Pokemon with the Ability Telepathy.

Sludge Bomb Locations
