Stats & Training
Pangoro's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Speed trails, 2 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 2 Attack EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
This rowdy Pokémon boasts great physical strength. Many Trainers are also smitten by its lively character.
Pangoro is the type to talk with its fists. It doesn’t say much as it pummels opponents with enough force to send a dump truck flying.
Pangoro Weakness
Pangoro's Fighting/Dark typing leaves it vulnerable to Fairy, Fighting, and Flying. Fairy hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Psychic-type attacks completely. With 95 HP and balanced defenses, Pangoro can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Pangoro 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 Darkiniumz is the standard set.
