Is Musharna Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Moon Stone evolution from Munna. Psychic with 107 Special Attack and 116 HP. The bulk lets it absorb hits from Brawly and parts of the E4. Slower than every other Psychic option in Hoenn, but tanks where they can't.

Musharna Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Musharna works as a tank with 487 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. Calm Mind with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Musharna's biggest threats include Heracross (Bug), Chandelure (Ghost), and Tyranitar (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. At base 29 Speed, Musharna won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Forewarn is the go-to ability for Musharna. It reveals the opponents' strongest move upon entering battle. Its hidden ability Telepathy can work in specific setups. Synchronize is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • Musharna is a special attacker with base 107 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 29 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the tank role.

  • For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Calm Mind, Storedpower, Moonlight, and Energy Ball. Calm Mind leads at 0% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Since Black & White, Musharna has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Musharna has appeared steadily across every generation since.
