Fans of the Unova region can find plenty of interesting creatures from the Black & White games in Pokemon Go, and Ferrothorn is no exception. Here are its best movesets for PvP and Raid battles.
The Thorn Pod Pokemon is a dual Grass/Steel-type creature, making for quite a unique type combination, which is only shared with one other: the Ultra Beast Kartana.
As such, those looking to raise this unique Pokemon will probably want to take it into PvP and Raid content. Thankfully, trainers who need to stock up on Ferrothorn’s pre-evolved form can do so through the Ferroseed Incense Day event on May 26, 2024.

Pokemon Go Ferrothorn best PvP moveset
Ferrothorn’s best moveset for PvP content in Pokemon Go is Bullet Seed as the Fast Move with Power Whip as the Charged Move.
The Fast Move option should go to Bullet Seed, thanks to its superior energy generation compared to Metal Claw.
As for the Charged Move options, the first should go to Power Whip due to its solid damage and relatively low energy cost. On top of that it benefits from STAB.

The secondary Charged Move should go to Flash Cannon to benefit from the STAB, but we recommend Thunder. First and foremost, Thunder is a great option to shut down Flying-types meant to counter Ferrothorn. It also boasts high damage, albeit at a high energy cost.
Alternatively, Acid Spray is a decent option to consider from a tactical point of view because even though it lacks heavy damage, it has a 100% chance of lowering an opponent’s Defense by two stages.
Pokemon Go Ferrothorn best Raid moveset
The best Raid moveset Ferrothorn can have in Pokemon Go is also Bullet Seed as the Fast Move with Power Whip as the Charged Move.
As a dual-type Pokemon, Ferrothorn can benefit from using both Grass and Steel attacks. However, for Raids it’s best to pick just one.
The ultimate best is the Grass-type moveset thanks to Bullet Seed’s superior energy generation, which will enable the player to reach the Charged Move, Power Whip, faster.
That said, the Steel moveset (Metal Claw and Flash Cannon) can still make for a good option should trainers need to opt for a Steel-type attacker.
