PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Ember gets STAB and performs best on offense. 
  • Tackle falls behind in performance and cannot be Super Effective against any Pokemon. 
  • Weather Ball Fire is considerably better than other options, and can be used frequently as a 3-bar. 
  • Fire Blast is a downgrade, though it does benefit from STAB. 
  • Solar Beam isn't very useful for Sunny Castform's role as a Fire-type. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Ember hits harder on defense and also gets STAB. 
  • Tackle lacks damage output and can't be Super Effective. 
  • Weather Ball Fire as a 3-bar can be used frequently before fainting.
  • Fire Blast is very predictable and too slow for defense. 
  • Solar Beam also has the same slowness and is too easily dodged. 

PVE Overview

Sunny Castform is great for brightening your day, but not so great for much else. Access to the efficient move Weather Ball isn't enough to save it from its pitiful stats.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Ember + Weather Ball (Fire) and Solar Beam

Ember offers considerably better energy generation and damage output than Tackle. 

Weather Ball is efficient and strong for its low energy cost, and can be used frequently. Solar Beam demands insane amounts of energy which makes it very difficult to access, but provides valuable coverage. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2.5 / 5

Sunny Castform is a mono-Fire type featuring decent bulk. Like the other variants of Castform, Weather Ball is its main highlight due to its respectable damage output while costing the least amount of energy possible. However, Sunny Castform is a little bit ahead of the other Castform types due to its useful Solar Beam coverage, despite the harsh energy needs. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5 

Sunny Castform lacks adequate stats to compete outside of Great League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

At least Sunny Castform can try to brighten your day after losing in Master League.
