Alolan Dugtrio or Mudsdale?

2 minute read

I need help with beating Kukui after the Elite 4. My main problem was with his Magneton, so I decided to catch a ground type. I can’t decide between Alolan Dugtrio or Mudsdale. They both learn Earthquake/Bulldoze naturally, and I might need differently-typed moves for other members of the Elite 4 (like the flying type specialist). Which of these two Pokemon is better against battling the whole Elite 4?

So, first, let’s focus on the Elite Four:

HalaType specialized in: FightingTotal Pokemon types: Fighting, Normal, Water, Ice

Alolan Dugrio: Normal type is not very effective on Alolan Dugtrio, but Hala’s Fighting and Water-Fighting types will do twice the damage.

Mudsdale: Normal and Fighting type do normal damage to Mudsdale, but Hala’s Water and Ice type moves are super effective.

OliviaType specialized in: RockTotal Pokemon types: Rock, Water, Fairy, Electric, Steel

Alolan Dugtrio: Electric type has no effect against this Pokemon, Fairy, Steel, and Rock are not very effective, but Water type is super effective.

Ok, now I’m just going to do pros and cons

That’s a lot to take in at once, even for me, and I wrote it! All in all, I would pick Alolan Dugtrio, but it’s your choice! After all, it’s your Pokemon.Oh, and if you want to know more:
