Smack Down Simulations | New Rock-type Fast Move Datamined in Pokemon GO



If you’re unfamiliar, Smack Down has been datamined in Pokemon GO! All we know about the attack right now is that it’s going to be a Rock-type fast move. Using that information, I decided to simulate several different types of Rock-type fast moves on Tyranitar and Rhydon to see how Smack Down could let them creep on Golem and Omastar as Rock-type attackers. The results suggest that Tyranitar would most likely usurp Golem as the best Rock-type Pokemon but that Rhydon might not creep nearly as hard.

Will Smack Down be June’s community day attack? Or perhaps many Pokemon will receive the fast move in a movepool shake up? Niantic could even not release it altogether. Only time will tell what’s happening with this new attack.
