Beedrill Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Beedrill's 495 base stat total fool you. Adaptability is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a sweeper. Poisonjab with Scopelens is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Beedrill hits 595 BST, a solid jump from the base 495. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Dodrio (Flying), and Starmie (Psychic) when using Beedrill. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rock-type attackers are also a problem. Beedrill's base 145 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Adaptability on Beedrill. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. With base 145 Speed, Adaptability gives Beedrill an edge before opponents can react.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Beedrill fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 150 Attack. Base 145 Speed lets it outrun most of the field.
