Stats & Training
The stat line revolves around HP. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. Sp. Atk backs it up, though Speed doesn't pull its weight. Worth 2 HP EVs on a fast 800K XP curve to max out.
When dark mists emanate from its body, don’t get too near. If you do, your nightmares will become reality.
It drowses and dreams all the time. It’s best to leave it be if it’s just woken up, as it’s a terrible grump when freshly roused from sleep.

Musharna Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Musharna works as a support with 487 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Psychic with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 support role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Hiddenpowerice, and Psychup. Psychic leads at 13% usage. Psychic provides reliable STAB damage.
