Anorith Moves & Learnset
Anorith can learn 76 moves in Generation 8, including 13 by leveling up, 35 via TM/HM, 11 through breeding, and 17 from move tutors. Its strongest STAB moves include Meteor Beam (Rock, 120 power), X Scissor (Bug, 80 power), Rock Slide (Rock, 75 power), Bug Bite (Bug, 60 power). For coverage, Anorith can learn Earth Power (Ground), Body Slam (Normal), Dig (Ground).
Training Anorith
With a capture rate of 45 (17.6%), Anorith can be quite challenging to catch in the wild. Defeating Anorith yields 1 Attack EV. It has a slow then very fast growth rate and requires approximately 7,936 steps to hatch from an Egg. Anorith belongs to the Water3 egg group. Anorith is part of a 2-stage evolution line (Anorith → Armaldo).
Use the tools above to calculate damage, optimize EVs, build teams, and more with Anorith. Check the damage calculator to find the best moves against Anorith, or use the team builder to see how Anorith fits into your squad.
