PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Counter is the ideal Fast Move of choice.
  • Rock Smash is inferior. 
  • Superpower outperforms Brick Break on offense.
  • Megahorn has no use nor STAB. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Rock Smash boasts higher damage and energy numbers on defense, compared to Counter. 
  • Brick Break is fast and spammed frequently on defense, but is a weak move overall. 
  • Superpower trades speed for more damage, and is a decent choice for defense. 
  • Megahorn can threaten Psychic-type attackers if Falinks hasn't fainted by then. 

PVE Overview

Falinks is an interesting Pokemon that looks somewhat ridiculous in the overworld screen. Its stats and movesets aren't particularly notable, especially considering much stronger Fighting-types that are already in the game, which makes it mostly a dex filler.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Counter + Superpower and Megahorn

A moveset born by exclusion. Rock Smash and Brick Break are horrible, and this is what we're left with. Counter is really good, though, so that's nice.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 2.5 / 5

Falinks is...fine. Megahorn's high cost has some anti-synergy with Superpower, which really benefits from a bait move. Megahorn can be useful to hit Grass- and Psychic-types which are pretty prevalent in the format. That said, Falinks is just outclassed by all the other Counter users in the format, and that hurts its viability a lot.

Ultra League: 2.5 / 5

Falinks has the same issues in Ultra League that it does in Great League, and then a few more. A total inability to hit Ghost-types causes it some serious issues in a format dominated by Giratina.

Master League: 0 / 5

Falinks's max CP is far too low to let it compete in Master League.
