Dedenne (F) @ Liechi BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Thunder Punch- Play Rough- Substitute- Recycle
Mediocre stats. At least, it has an excellent typing, only weak to Ground and Poison.
Dedenne @ Lum BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Volt Switch- Sleep Talk- Grass Knot- Thief
This is unusual. Oh but wut… That thing has an excellent typing alongside no STAB Fairy move, bar the useless Play Rough, a maximum of Electric Move, and useless abilities with no moves to take profit. I mean, come on. If this thing get Recycle, then we could use well Cheek Pouch to quickly annoy. Instead, we will have to Thief the other’s berry, use them and heal ourselves. The Lum Berry is for if ever you are hurt by a status ailment, thus recovering HP and curing the ailment. Grass Knot is a filler as the moveset is nonexistent. And Volt Switch is for scouting purposes.
Ergh why don’t you have a good STAB fairy move?
Dedenne @ Choice SpecsAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpDTimid / Naive Nature- Thunderbolt- Grass Knot- Hidden Power [Ice]- Volt Switch / U-turn
It should be noted that a Fairy type hidden power is not possible
Dedenne @ Salac BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Substitute- Charge Beam- Thunderbolt- Hidden Power [Ice] / Grass Knot
Although its speed is high, some threats, like scarfers and swellow, still outspeed our little magic pikachu. That’s where the Salac Berry comes in. Using his decent resistances and potentially threatening offensive presence, Dedenne can set up substitutes and charge beams as it pleases until after the third substitute, it gets both a speed boost and some recovery in addition to whatever special attack boosts it has accumulated. Sweeping time. Thunderbolt is standard STAB, while HP Ice and Grass Knot can round out the set, although the latter is typically the better choice.
Dedenne @ WhateverAbility: PlusEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Entrainment- Grass Knot- Protect/Charge Beam- Thunderbolt/Thunder Wave
Dedenne could be used on a Plus/Minus team in a triple battle. Use Entrainment to turn an ally’s ability to Plus and boost their special attack. Team him with Klingklang for an automatic boost, then choose any Pokemon you want to add the plus ability to, like a good special sweeper, and boost the special attack even more. Use Protect to stay alive longer or Charge Beam to boost Special attack even more. Thunderbolt for more powerful Stab. Thunder Wave to annoy and slow everyone down. Grass Knot for coverage.
Other than this, I don’t see Dedenne serving any other purpose. He’s basically another Plusle or Minun with a few more resistances and an immunity to Dragon. He could just be a support/annoyance Pokemon, but there are better Pokemon out there for that.

Dedenne (M) @ Assault VestAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid / Modest Nature- Thunder- Nuzzle- Grass Knot- Volt Switch
Dedenne is actually a unique Pokémon (although it’s design can be compared a lot often to Raichu or even Hamtaro), it’s typing, providing only two weakness, sure is unique. Dedenne can’t actually have that much power to sweep, but against the right opponents it can surely be annoying and even defeat one or two. Assault Vest makes it a little bulkier on the special side, which is always welcome. Thunder, besides STAB, is there due to Dedenne’s lack of power and Thunderbolt suddenly not being that reliable. Nuzzle is that special attacking Thunder Wave that pairs up pretty well with Assault Vest. Grass Knot is for coverage against Ground/Rock type Pokémon who think it will be easy to get a free knock out at him. And of course, Volt Switch is excellent for a final hit and free switch out.
Overall, Dedenne isn’t the greatest Pokémon, it’s movepool is pretty shallow and it does miss a good Fairy STAB move, but you may see some people using and I guess it’s just because of its looks. So if you want to use a Dedenne, go for it!
Dedenne @ Life OrbAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Nuzzle- Volt Switch- Grass Knot- Thunderbolt
Dedenne can be viable as a support role with its typing, speed, andnuzzle. Nuzzle is a step up from thunder wave and cannot be taunted. With paralysis support it can greatly increase your team’s chance of winning. I found that it can run an assault vest set but in all reality it doesn’t like to take hits, so instead I suggest using life orb for extra damage because it will more likely be able to 1HKO Pokémon like Gastrodon, Quagsire, Swampert, and Rhyperior (that is if you use Dedenne in those tiers) w/ grass knot and KO flying and water types w/ volt switch and thunderbolt. Volt Switch is for scouting purposes and leaving unfavorable matchups.
SUPER TANKY FREAKIN TANKY RODENT :P
Dedenne @ Sitrus BerryAbility: Check PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpDCalm Nature- Super Fang- Nuzzle- Charm- Parobolic Charge / Volt Switch
I used this set and things went positive! Charm lowers the Attack, Useful for making a physical Pokemon weak, While Super Fang makes the opponent HP go down by half, Nuzzle Opponent = get Parahaxed, While Parabolic Charge regains life (If You Wanna Survive) or Volt Switch for Scouting. But You’ll have a hard time killin' them Ground Types Because You Only Have One Move That Can Defeat Them …EHO CARES ABOUT THAT? Oh Also, I Used This On A Ubers Team…It Destroyed Stuff…. ~u~
Dedenne @ Petaya BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpAModest Nature- Nuzzle- Thunderbolt- Grass Knot- Recycle
I know that Dedenne has a poor defence, but used correctly, this thing can sweep. Nuzzle for the paralysis, Thunderbolt for the STAB main attack, and Grass Knot for hitting those heavy ground types. Recycle to get the Petaya berry back to boost your Sp.Atk more. Dedenne already has a decent enough speed to go first against most other Pokemon.
Dedenne @ Lum BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Substitute- Double Team- Hidden Power [Ice]- Shock Wave
Dedenne @ Sitrus BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Recycle- Nuzzle- Signal Beam- Charge Beam
Dedenne is a little beast!
“Healing Machine” Moveset:Dedenne @ Sitrus BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 126 HP / 130 Atk / 252 Spe or 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe (First spread if you have Play Rough, second spread if you have Super Fang)Jolly Nature- Eerie Impulse- Charm- Recycle- Play Rough / Super Fang
First, you Eerie Impulse or Charm on opponent depending on what type of attacks they are using. If Special, use Eerie Impulse. If Physical, use Charm. Next, once they damage you to 50% or below health, Dedenne will regain HP with the Sitrus Berry AND WITH Cheek Pouch. Then, use recycle so you can restore your berry and heal again . Finally, use Play Rough or Super Fang depending on which EVs you have.ALWAYS repeat steps.
Dedenne @ Sitrus BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Nuzzle / Toxic- Volt Switch- Play Rough- U-Turn
This little fella might not be a powerhouse, but is a respectable scout, fast enough to Paralyze or Poison multiple Pokemon. I’ve rarely seen it fall to a non super-effective move, and that’s enough to recover HP with Sitrus Berry + Cheek Pouch and use Nuzzle. From there it’s easy to outspeed them and switch to your sweeper with Volt Switch (or U-Turn in case the opponent switches to a Ground-type). Although Play Rough isn’t the strongest Fairy-type move, I’ve seen it 2HKO multiple Dragon, Dark and Fighting Pokemon. If you just want him to inflict status and run, make him learn U-Turn and Toxic in 3rd and 4th slots. That way you almost always have an ensured advantage on your opponent, and the best part is that if it makes it out alive you can later send him again to inflict some more status.
I HAVE A VERY GOOD MOVESET IVE BEEN USING
Role: “Toxic Hard-to-hit buttface”
Dedenne @ Sitrus berryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Double Team- Recycle- Thunderbolt- Toxic
EXPLANATIONFirst come in and use your speed as an advantage by spamming Double Team so you can’t be hit.Then use a Toxic to make up for the damage you can’t do (Dedenne isn’t very good at dishing out damage; Let’s face it).Thunderbolt for STAB and good damage in general.Recycle to recover your Sitrus Berry if it’s eaten.
Trust me, its super annoying.
Dedenne @ Leftovers / whateverAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Volt Switch- Rest- Snore- Nuzzle / Discharge
Hp (To be a tanker + Stall)Spe (To be speedy so no one will catch up)SpA (It’s -SpA so no reason..)
This Deddene won’t be killed so quickly and can switch out whenever (Not in Arena Trap Though) I think It’s good for a deddene as well.
Dedenne @ Kee BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 50 Def / 72 SpA / 128 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Recycle- Parabolic Charge- Eerie Impulse- Grass Knot
With Cheek Pouch, every hit just heals you and makes you tanky, then just Recycle and repeat. Parabolic Charge to deal some damage and heal your health. Eerie Impulse to deal with dangerous special attackers, and Grass Knot to cover Ground-types (It’s the only Water or Grass type move Dedenne can learn).
Sorry, I rushed this :/
Dedenne @ Kee BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Charge- Nuzzle- Super Fang- Recycle
Dedenne’s cheek pouch is awesome. Healing off a status condition is useful, especially if you’re fast and can just annoy people with Nuzzle and Super Fang. Charge and Recycle are your ‘set-up’ moves, so you can bulk up any damage you take. Also, physical attackers are not going to fare too well, along with being able to increase Nuzzle’s power.
Hope it helps. :)
Dedenne. Another Pikachu who is simply never going to be as iconic as the real thing. Anyway, here we go.
Dedenne @ Sitrus BerryAbility: Cheek PouchEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Recycle- Parabolic Charge- Volt Switch- Grass Knot
There you go. Dedenne isn’t the best Pokémon out there, the only damaging fairy type move it knows is physical, but it’s ok.
