Best offensive PvE moveset for Clodsire

The best offensive PvE moveset for Clodsire in GO would be Mud Shot as the Fast move, along with Sludge Bomb and Earthquake as the Charged ones.

You will be using Mud Shot and Earthquake as your primary moves for Clodsire. These will give you the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB). For fans who might not know, this is a Poison- and Ground-type beast that shares the same elemental typings as those two moves.

Clodsire has a very underwhelming attack stat of 127. However, it makes up for this lack of power with its incredible bulk. This creature has a stamina stat of 277, which makes it a massive tank on the battlefield.

However, it still does not come across as a great choice to use in your PvE battles. This title offers much better creatures when it comes to both Poison and Ground elemental typings.

Again, you need a good attack stat to dish out high damage. With a meager 127 attack stat, Clodsire does not look very promising on paper in PvP.

However, once this Pocket Monster gets Megahorn, things might be different. A new and exclusive move could be a game-changer for Clodsire.
