How to use Tauros Paldea Blaze Breed in the current VGC format?

This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Tauros Paldea Blaze Breed fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Intimidate, Sitrus Berry and Jolly 1/32/0/0/1/32. Its frequent moves include Close Combat, Protect, Raging Bull, Rock Slide, Flare Blitz, and Earthquake. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Tauros Paldea Blaze Breed has important weaknesses to flying 2x, ground 2x, psychic 2x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure.
