Best Singles build for Pecharunt in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Toxic is the main move in this set, as it will induce a deadly poison status on the enemy, slowly but surely killing the enemy Pokemon.

Mean Look will prevent the poisoned monster from leaving the battlefield, which will increase the damage dealt by the previous move.

The substitute will negate status moves directed at Pecharunt from the enemy monsters.

Recover will restore half of Pecharunt’s total HP, allowing it to stay alive longer. This is what makes Recover the second most important move in this set.
