Best against

Which raid bosses Castform is a top counter for, aggregated over the 120 bosses on the roster the same way pokebattler.com aggregates its own attacker rankings.

Castform does not reach the top 32 against any of the 120 bosses on the roster, with or without Shadow, Mega and Legendary attackers in the pool. That is an honest "no", not a missing measurement — it was ranked against every one of them.

Caught CP range 875 - 932, or 1,094 - 1,165 when the weather boosts it.

A raid encounter is level 20 (level 25 weather boosted) and cannot roll an IV below 10/10/10. Anything outside the first range is not this raid's reward.

Type matchups

Every one of the 18 attacking types against this typing. GO multipliers: 1.6x super effective, 0.625x resisted, 0.390625x doubly resisted.

Every tile and chip is a link: it opens the Pokedex filtered to that type, so a weakness leads straight to the attackers that exploit it. Pokebattler lists only the weaknesses; the eleven types that do neither matter as much to a raider deciding what to bring, so all 18 are shown with the exact multiplier.

Same typing, same matchups

Released normal forms with the highest attack — they share every weakness and resistance above.

Movepool

4 fast and 7 charged moves, elite / legacy included. Ranked by damage per second (fast) and damage per energy (charged), both with this form's x1.2 STAB applied where it earns it.

STAB marks moves that share a type with this form (x1.2 damage), and the DPS and DPE columns above already have that x1.2 in them — so a STAB move and a stronger-on-paper neutral move can be compared straight down the column, which is how the best-moveset cards rank them too. Power and Duration stay raw; hover a DPS or DPE figure to see the arithmetic. Att DPS and Def DPS are the two columns pokebattler.com prints in the same table, reproduced exactly: both are raw with no STAB, Def DPS is power / duration, and Att DPS is power / (duration + 2s), the gym move delay. They are there so this table can be diffed against theirs row by row — every row on the pages read on 2026-09-11 matches. Energy is gained on fast moves and spent on charged moves. Every move name opens its own page with the damage window and every other form that learns it — or browse all moves.

Turns are the one-based count the game and every reference site print: the Game Master ships a zero-based durationTurns, so its 1 is a 2-turn move. DPT and EPT are damage and energy per turn and DPE is damage per energy, both with this form's x1.2 STAB already in them where the row is flagged STAB, so the columns can be read straight down; Power and Energy stay raw. A stat change moves the target up or down the game's own ladder (0.50, 0.57, 0.67, 0.80, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00 for stages -4 to +4). Every Trainer Battle number is audited on the data-quality page.

Where this data comes from

Every field above is read from the committed snapshot, never typed by hand.

Built 2026-10-03 from the PokeMiners Game Master (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeMiners/game_masters/master/latest/latest.json), refreshed automatically every day.

5 moves restored from Pokebattler's dataset

Pokebattler lists Bite, Rock Smash, Ancient Power, Crunch, Stomp for this form and this Game Master snapshot no longer carries them — legacy and event-only moves are the usual reason. Each one keeps the list Pokebattler puts it in, so Elite TM moves stay behind the legacy toggle.
