PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Waterfall paired with Surf makes Milotic’s most useful attacking set, with a performance that slightly trails Vaporeon.

  • Dragon Tail should be paired with Blizzard if you’re desperate for a Dragon-type counter.

  • Hyper Beam has no purpose on an offensive MIlotic.  

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Dragon Tail edges out Waterfall because it is not resisted by Grass, although Waterfall is better against Electric-types.

  • Blizzard is on par with Surf; the former offers better counter coverage, the latter better damage against neutral threats.

  • Hyper Beam is too slow to rate.

PVE Overview

Milotic has a good Water Type moveset and is a passable attacker, but it's far from budget for most players and very outclassed due to its staying still while the meta moves forward. Milotic just doesn't have the offensive presence needed to shine.

On defense, Milotic surpasses now-lesser Water Types like Vaporeon completely, offering the advantage of Dragon Tail and Blizzard to punish Dragon and Grass-type counters as well as Waterfall and Surf to punish neutral threats more. It may be more reasonable to compare Milotic to the Slowdudes, which she also surpasses, not having the liability of a Psychic sub-typing weak to powerful Ghost or Dark Types.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Dragon Tail or Waterfall + Surf and Blizzard or Hyper Beam

Dragon Tail is a fairly good move in PvP, with decent energy gains and a narrowly resisted offensive type. Waterfall could be chosen for strong STAB damage, but its slow energy gains makes it harder to use charge moves. 

Surf is a solid Water-type attack, sporting good power, low energy cost, and STAB. It will generally be Milotic's main attack, with the very slow Blizzard or Hyper Beam standing as backups. The former mainly threatens Grass and Dragon, while the latter offers neutral coverage on Water- and Ice-types.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1.5 / 5

Milotic is a bulky Water type Pokemon with good staying power, but the restrictions on its CP leave a bit to be desired in the Great League. It can pull off some general wins due to type advantage and coverage, but other water types such as Blastoise generally fill this role better.

Ultra League: 2 / 5

Milotic performs much better in the Ultra League, and actually fills the role of a bulky water type with much better effectiveness overall. However, it's once again robbed of its niche by Pokemon such as Blastoise and Feraligatr, both of which have the downright phenomenal Hydro Cannon to hang their stars on. Milotic just pales in comparison.

Master League: 2 / 5

Different tier, same story. Milotic is outclassed by even bigger names like Kyogre and Hydro Cannon Swampert in the Master League, where it genuinely struggles to make a name for itself. It can still operate well to some degree here, with Dragon Tail giving it more playable matchups with the common Dragon-types.
