  1. Start with this move Thunder Shock → Thunder
  2. 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Nasty Plot
  3. Bond 2: add to the group Electro Ball → Spark
  4. Bond 3: add to the group Thunderbolt → Zap Cannon

Group damage 11,847/s (4,262 without the buff)

Estimate from the game’s formulas, not from matches. How we calculate

Recommended build

Bonds only come from winning a rift arena (1 per win). Fused moves fire together, each on its own cooldown, so the group’s damage is the sum.

  1. Start with this move Thunder Shock → Thunder Projectile · evolves with Power
  2. 1st bond: fuse with move 1 Nasty Plot Buff · Deals no damage: builds SPECIAL ATTACK while active.
  3. Bond 2: add to the group Electro Ball → Spark Bounce · evolves with Sprint
  4. Bond 3: add to the group Thunderbolt → Zap Cannon Chain · evolves with Reflexes

Group damage 11,847/s (4,262 without the buff)

Estimated damage per second against a horde, with every move evolved and the buff fully stacked. How we calculate

  • Buff in group
  • Targets the boss first

Level-up cards, in order

  1. Power up to 40
  2. Reflexes up to 10
  3. Sprint 1 is enough (unlocks the evolution)
  4. Armor up to 9
  5. Synthesis the rest

Item

Choice Band — ×1.4 damage but locks the active slot. Take it once the group is built (or always fuse into the active slot).

Focus Sash — the only protection against Arceus’ hits (1 extra life every 60 s).

Moves it can learn

Estimated damage per second against a horde, with this Pokémon’s multiplier applied.
