Alright, let’s talk about Cyndaquil. I’ve been playing around with this little fire starter for a while now, and I’ve got some thoughts on its best moveset.
So, first off, I started by checking out what moves Cyndaquil can even learn. Turns out, it’s got two fast attacks: Ember and Tackle. Ember is a fire-type move, and Tackle is normal-type. Of course, I went with Ember first ’cause, you know, it’s a fire-type Pokémon, gotta use those fire moves! Plus, it gets that Same-Type-Attack-Bonus, which is always nice.
Next, I dug into some guides online to see what other people were saying. Lots of folks were talking about its best movesets, top counters, and how to find a shiny Cyndaquil – all that good stuff. I also found some information about its abilities and stats. Nothing too surprising there.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. I saw a bunch of recommendations for Tackle and Flamethrower. But for me, I felt like Ember and Flamethrower was the way to go. This combo gives Cyndaquil a decent damage per second (DPS) and total damage output (TDO). I even found a chart showing the DPS and TDO for all its move combinations. But honestly, I just went with my gut on this one.
I also noticed some chatter about a move called Eruption. Apparently, it’s supposed to make up for Cyndaquil’s kinda low Special Attack. But, from what I gathered, Cyndaquil is pretty vulnerable to Stealth Rock, and it’s not exactly the toughest little guy out there. So, keeping Eruption’s power up seemed like a hassle. I figured Eruption might be its only way to do some real damage, but I wasn’t too keen on relying on it.
Later on, I evolved my Cyndaquil into Typhlosion, just to see what would happen. Most guides suggested Incinerate and Blast Burn for Typhlosion’s best moveset. I tried it out, and yeah, it’s pretty powerful. Incinerate is a great fast attack, and Blast Burn just obliterates things as the charge attack.
So yeah, that’s my experience with Cyndaquil and its moves. I found Ember and Flamethrower to be a solid choice for Cyndaquil, and later, Incinerate and Blast Burn work great for Typhlosion. But hey, everyone’s got their own playstyle, so you might find something else that works better for you. Just experiment and see what happens!
- Started with analyzing Cyndaquil’s available moves.
- Chose Ember as the fast attack for the Same-Type-Attack-Bonus.
- Explored online guides for community insights.
- Decided on Ember and Flamethrower for the best DPS and TDO.
- Considered Eruption but found it impractical due to Cyndaquil’s weaknesses.
- Evolved Cyndaquil to Typhlosion and tried Incinerate and Blast Burn.
- Concluded that Ember/Flamethrower and Incinerate/Blast Burn are effective.
I spent the whole day trying out different move combinations, battled a bunch of other Pokémon, and kept notes on what worked and what didn’t. It was a lot of trial and error, but it was definitely worth it. Now I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on how to make the most of this fiery little Pokémon.
I hope this little experiment helps some of you out there who are also trying to figure out the best way to use Cyndaquil. Remember, these are just my observations, and what works for me might not work for everyone. The most important thing is to have fun and find a strategy that you enjoy! Feel free to share your own experiences and let me know what movesets you prefer. Maybe we can all learn a thing or two from each other.
