Learn about the Grass-type Special attack Solarbeam in Pokémon Platinum, with 120 damage and 100% accuracy.

Solarbeam is a Special attack with a base power of 120 and perfect 100% accuracy. It has 10 PP (Power Points). When you use Solarbeam, your Pokémon will spend the first turn charging the attack and unleash it on the second turn. However, if the weather condition Sunny Day is active, Solarbeam will not require a charge turn and can be used immediately.

In Pokémon Platinum Contests, Solarbeam is classified as a Cool-type move and is worth 1 point. If other Pokémon have appealed to the same judge, using Solarbeam grants an additional +3 bonus.

Tips
  • Consider using Solarbeam in conjunction with Sunny Day to bypass its charge turn.
  • Its high damage and accuracy make it a strong offensive option, especially against Water and Flying-type Pokémon.
  • In Contests, be mindful of when other Pokémon have appealed to the same judge to maximize its scoring potential.
