Top 5 & best steel type moves in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Gigaton Hammer
GIgaton Hammer is the strongest move that you can learn and its sheer destructive power is no inferior to any. It is a physical steel type move that has by far the highest power and accuracy. The only con of this move is that it cannot be used consecutively, which is fine as it may break the balance if one can use it without any restrictions. With that being said, see its stats below.
- Power – 160
- Accuracy – 100
- PP (Max PP) – 5 (8)
Steel Beam
Steel Beam is a special steel-type move that is worth getting your steel-type pokemon to learn and is highly recommended by many. The side effect of using this move is that your pokemon loses half of the HP unless it has Magic Guard so make sure to use it beforehand.
- Power – 140
- Accuracy – 95
- PP (Max PP) – 5 (8)
Steel Roller
Steel Roller as its name suggests is a physical steel-type move that has a unique destruction effect followed by an attack. The effect applies to a single opponent and its accuracy and damage are amazing. When you use this move, your pokemon attacks while destroying the terrain. Sadly it is a double edge sword as this move fails if the ground hasn’t been turned into terrain. Anyways, here are its stats-
- Power – 130
- Accuracy – 100
- PP (Max PP) – 5 (8)
Make it rain
Make it Rain is a special steel-type move that is great for farming money and weakening the opponent at the same time. Not only it can lower the opponent’s special attack stat by one stage, but you also get some quick bucks. This move can be equipped by Gholdengo only. See its stats below.
- Power – 120
- Accuracy – 100
- PP (Max PP) – 5 (8)
