The Season of Alola has arrived inPokemon GOand with it are a bunch of new Pokemon from the Alola region, including the likes of Oricorio, Rowlett, Litten and many more.
Oricorio is the most recent new arrival in the game, with all four of its different forms debuting as part of the yearly Festival of Colors event.
As is always the case when new Pokemon arrive inPokemon GO, players are wondering if Oricorio is good and if so, what its best moveset is. Thankfully, we have that information right here for you.
Is Oricorio Good in Pokemon GO?
Oricorio has four different forms available in the game. They are Baile Style, Pom-Pom Style, Pa’u Style and Sensu Style. Each of these Pokemon share the same stats but have slightly different secondary typings which makes things interesting. They are as follows:
While, as mentioned, all four forms of Oricorio share the same stats, each one performs differently inPokemon GO’sPVP mode because of the different weaknesses and resistances that they have. Are any of them worth using though?
Sadly, the answer is no, and the birds serve as ‘Dex fillers and nothing more right now.
In thePokemon GOGreat League, Oricorio’s best placement is its Sensu Style which comes in as the 579th best pick in the league. The Pa’u form on the other hand comes in at 651st according toPVPoke. This means that there are almost 600 better Pokemon you can choose than Oricorio in the Great League.
Unfortunately, the Pokemon don’t perform much better in the Ultra League either. This time out, the Baile Style Oricorio comes in at 399th place with the Pa’u Style coming in at a lowly 486th position. The Pokemon don’t feature at all in the Master League rankings.
What is Oricorio’s Best Moveset in Pokemon GO?
If you’re a sadist and do decide you want to try Oricorio in battle, this is the best moveset you can currently choose for all four styles:
This moveset does make the most of its Flying typing to help it deal STAB damage but equally, there are plenty of better choices out there!
