Platinum Meditite Best Moveset

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 4.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Moves

STAB runs through Focus Punch and High Jump Kick for the basics, but Meditite's real strength is the 12-type coverage spread. Normal and Dark hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.
