PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Tackle is generally superior to Zen Headbutt due to STAB and higher DPS.

• All of Tauros’s charge moves perform nearly equally in a vacuum, and to be fair, Tauros is very unremarkable on offense.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Zen Headbutt is superior to Tackle on defense for counter coverage and higher power.

• Horn Attack, Trailblaze, and Iron Head are good charge move considerations, as they’re swift and have low energy cost.

• Earthquake is too slow to charge and too easy to dodge.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Tackle + Horn Attack and Earthquake or Iron Head

Oof, those fast moves. Tackle (3 DPT/2 EPT) and Zen Headbutt (2.66 DPT/2 EPT) are two of the worst in the game, so Tauros is gimped from the start. Horn Attack (40 power, 35 energy) is bad too, but at least it’s cheap. Pair that with your choice Earthquake (120 power, 65 energy) or Iron Head (70 power, 50 energy) for two charged moves you’ll probably never reach anyway.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

This is bull, dude. Tauros really doesn’t beat much down in Great League.

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Don’t have a cow, man. Tauros isn’t much use in Ultra League.

Master League: 0 / 5

Moove along. Tauros remains a bad pick in Master League.
