|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Grass |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Ice, Steel |

FRLG Milotic Best Moveset
AbilityMarvel Scale boosts Defense by 50%% when statused, and MoveRest triggers it deliberately for free bulk while healing. 100 Sp. Atk fires MoveSurf and MoveIce Beam from the special side. The moveset plays status-powered physical tank that attacks from the special side, recovering through Rest while the Defense boost absorbs physical hits.

Breeding's the move. Confuse Ray and Dragon Breath give Milotic options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Dragon coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Hydro Pump and Surf. The egg moves push it further.
