FAQs

What is the hidden ability in Emboar Gen 5? ›

Hidden Ability

Strengthens recoil moves to 1.2× their power.

Best moveset for Emboar

The best moves for Emboar are Low Kick and Blast Burn when attacking Pokémon in Gyms. This move combination has the highest total DPS and is also the best moveset for PVP battles.

An Adamant nature is used for the significant boost in power, but a Jolly nature can be used to outspeed threats such as neutral-natured Exploud and Samurott. Reckless is Emboar's best ability, providing a heavy boost in power to Flare Blitz and Wild Charge.

Emboar's base 65 Speed stat and decent STAB combination mean it is able to outspeed and beat common Fighting- and Fire-type checks like Cresselia, Florges, Mega Ampharos, Adamant Tyrantrum, Rhyperior, and Milotic. It still falls short of prominent Pokemon such as Barbaracle, Tyrantrum, and Gardevoir, though.

If the female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability, then it has a good chance of passing along that Hidden Ability to its offspring when breeding. In Generation V, it had to breed with a male Pokémon (and not a Ditto) in order to pass along its Hidden Ability; in future generations, breeding with Ditto would work.

Emboar – #500 - Mega Fire Pig Pokémon - veekun.

Charizard isn't all that great, but it's awesome compared to Emboar. Ninetails is better than Arcanine thanks to Drought, but if you're not including auto-permanent sun support then Arcanine is better on its own. Don't get hit and hit it until it dies, in that order. Kill it, carve it, wear it, repeat it.

Though very tough and relentless when fighting, it shows deep affection for those it considers friends. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in fire to use its signature move, Heat Crash.

Heat crash is a virtually pointless attack. MOst of the pokemon you fight against later in the game will be just as heavy, if not, heavier than you. I'd stick with flame charge for the speed boost.

Darmanitan is by far, much better. Higher attack, one of the highest base Atks of any non legendary. Sheer power makes his moves stronger.

Is Emboar the best starter? ›

If you're willing to start, Emboar is the definite pick as it can deal with both early-game and late-game. It can deal with a total of 6 gyms, but for some you have to be careful. Emboar has a versatile movepool allowing it to learn moves like Scald.

Origin and inspiration

Emboar is based on a boar.

Yeah, it can be worth it but only if you match the right pokemon against a pokemon. Emboar can't take too much hits due to its low defense despite the high health points, so make sure you can advantage on a poor pokemon for the long run. Speed plus power is good.

Best Gen 5 Starter: Oshawott

Despite Tepig having an advantage against more of the games' gym leaders, Oshawott's final evolution, Samurott, is just too good to ignore. It will destroy the Elite Four without breaking a sweat and has access to a rich and varied move set that allows for a variety of different builds.

Expert Belt is the recommended hold item for mixed Emboar, as it has great super effective coverage and is able to bluff a Choice item very well.

It can throw a fire punch by setting its fists on fire with its fiery chin. It cares deeply about its friends. It has mastered fast and powerful fighting moves. It grows a beard of fire.

Using an Ability Patch on a Pokémon gives it its Hidden Ability (unless its species does not have one). Pokémon encountered in grass patches that have more grass shaking off via the Poké Radar will have their Hidden Ability, if their species has one.
