Pangoro Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Pangoro's 495 base stat total fool you. Mold Breaker is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Drain Punch with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Mold Breaker on Pangoro. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Pangoro also gets Iron Fist and Scrappy, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Pangoro fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 124 Attack. At base 58 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Drain Punch, Knock Off, Bullet Punch, and Crunch on Pangoro. Drain Punch is the most common pick at 0% usage. Crunch provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Introduced in X & Y, Pangoro has appeared in 6 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
