PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Bug Bite is strictly superior to Struggle Bug in every respect.

  • Heavy Slam is the only STAB charge move that Forretress learns, and is itself a decent 2-bar move.

  • Rock Tomb and Earthquake simply don’t work.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Struggle Bug performs better on defense due to high defensive DPS.

  • Heavy Slam and Rock Tomb, both 2-bar moves, are preferred, as they are likely to be used at least once.

  • Rock Tomb has coverage vs. Forretress’s biggest enemy: Fire-types.

  • Earthquake is not worth mentioning.

PVE Overview

Forretress is a Pokemon that doesn't really benefit from the shadow boost. Its loss in defense is far greater than what it gains in attack, and said attack boost just doesn't matter enough to be note-worthy. If you're going to raise a Forretress (for Defense or PvP... not for offense), then it's probably better to raise the non-shadow version.
