Breloom should not pose a threat to anyone that uses the above Pokémon. Shout-out to Honchkrow for his high spot on the list, making Murkrow an attention-worthy Pokémon.
Breloom has access to the following moves:
- Counter Fighting (fast)
- Bullet Seed Grass (fast)
- Dynamic Punch Fighting (Two bar; charge)
- Seed Bomb Grass (Three bar; charge)
- Sludge Bomb Poison (Two bar; charge)
Rayquaza is the best Pokémon to have when tackling a Breloom solo. While type is not useful in the current meta, it is the best option when solo-ing a Breloom, especially in Windy weather. Moltres (with legacy Charge move) joins Rayquaza as the absolute best Breloom counters. Honchkrow, Yanmega, and Togekiss (recently introduced in the game by evolving with the Sinnoh Stone follow the lead with a very high (and close) DPS.
Staraptor, Charizard, and Dragonite are also very good and easy to afford since they don’t require any special item and/or aren’t that hard to get.
Additional Notes:
Breloom is best taken on in Windy weather, boosting any and Psychic type movesets while not boosting any of Breloom’s moves. Sunny and Cloudy weather does just that, but allows Breloom to be caught at a much higher CP.
