Base Stats
It burrows beneath the sand, radiating psychic power from the protuberance on its head. It waits for prey as it surveys the area.
Its skin is thick enough to fend off Mareanie’s spikes. With its robust teeth, Bruxish crunches up the spikes and eats them.
Bruxish Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Bruxish looks average on paper at 475 BST. But Strong Jaw is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Psychic Fangs with Life Orb is the standard set.
Bruxish gets Strong Jaw, Dazzling, and Wonder Skin. But Strong Jaw is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Bruxish is a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 92 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Psychic Fangs, Crunch, Ice Fang, and Aqua Jet on Bruxish. Psychic Fangs is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Sun & Moon, Bruxish has been obtainable in 3 games. A Generation 7 debut means a shorter history, but Bruxish has appeared steadily across every generation since.
