| Moveset | ・U-turn ・Drum Beating ・Knock Off ・Superpower |
This set focuses on taking advantage of Rillaboom's high Defense and Speed, while escaping from difficult matchups with U-turn. Even if the opponents outspeeds Rillaboom, it can use Drum Beating to decrease its opponent's Speed and gain the upper hand.
| Wood Hammer | An alternate choice for Drum Beating for when you want to prioritize damage above all else. |
|---|---|
| Earthquake | For when you want to vary its potential to attack with different types. However, be warned that Max Overgrowth will set up Grassy Terrain, which halves its power. |
| High Horsepower | An alternate Ground move for when you want to Dynamax Rillaboom. Its power doesn't decrease with Grassy Terrain, making it more effective than Earthquake in this context. |
| Nature | Adamant (+Atk, -SpAtk) |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | Atk. 252 / Spd. 252 / HP 4 |
| Ability | Overgrow |
| Held Item | Assault Vest |
| Moveset | ・Drum Beating ・U-turn ・Hammer Arm ・Knock Off |
This build allows Rillaboom to survive Fire Blast, frequently learned by Dragapult and Hydreigon, and after getting one Drum Beating up, it can outspeed to use a super effective move and aim for a 1HKO.
| Earthquake | A high-power attack with reliable accuracy. However, be warned that Max Overgrowth will set up Grassy Terrain, which halves its power. |
|---|---|
| High Horsepower | An alternate Ground move for when you want to Dynamax Rillaboom. Its power doesn't decrease with Grassy Terrain, making it more effective than Earthquake in this context. |
| Superpower | An alternate choice for Hammer Arm for when you want to avoid the Speed drop, and are willing to trade it for an Attack and Defense drop. |
Rillaboom is able to hit hard with its high Attack. It also has high Speed, so arming it with a Choice Scarf can allow it to take advantage of this to move faster and defeat many opponents.
As a Grass-type Pokemon, Rillaboom is cursed with weaknesses to Fire, Flying and others which are frequently held even by non-STAB opponents. Don't send it up against opponents who it can't handle.
As Rillaboom is a Grass-type Pokemon, a type with several weaknesses, and since it can only learn Moves of a few types, it's easy to exploit these weaknesses with an advantageously-typed Pokemon.
