How Bullet Punch performs in Pokémon GO PvP
Fast moves run on a turn clock — Bullet Punch takes 2 turns to execute. It deals 8 damage and generates 7 energy each cycle, putting it at 4.0 damage per turn and 3.50 energy per turn. Higher DPT means more chip damage between charged moves; higher EPT means faster charged-move loading.
Bullet Punch is damage-heavy — it chips defenders down even before the first charged move fires. Pair with cheap charged moves for steady pressure.
