Eric Rios previously used this creature with its particular moveset to win the European International Championships earlier this year.
For the Gastrodon distribution, the Pokemon comes with the moves Earth Power, Ice Beam, Yawn, and Protect. It’ll be at level 50 with the Leftovers item. Thanks to its ability, it can use Storm Drain.
