Beedrill Move Sets

Beedrill has access to this set of moves as a raid boss:

Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*).

Beedrill’s best moveset is Bug Bite and Sludge Bomb, with 12.30 DPS (damage per second) and 220.4 TDO (total damage output). These moves are boosted by Rain and Cloudy weather. You need an Elite Fast TM to teach Beedrill Bug Bite.

Weather Effects

As this is a Tier 3 raid, the weather will not be crucial to defeating Beedrill. If you’re looking for the Level 25 encounter you will need Rainy or Cloudy weather. Otherwise, any weather other than Snow or Fog will boost your moves, so you should defeat Beedrill with no issues!
