Because of its high DPS output, the best moveset for Exploud is as follows:

  • Fast Attack—Astonish (Ghost-type)
  • Charge Attack—Boomburst (Normal-type)

The pairing of both Astonish and Boomburst is great for both offense and defense, meaning these are the only two moves you need for your Exploud in every situation.

If you've yet to net yourself an Exploud, you can do so by evolving Whismur into Loudred with 12 Whismur Candy and then Loudred into Exploud with 50 Whismur Candy. Whismur can be found as a random spawn in the wild, so if you've yet to catch one, keep looking.

It sometimes appears in the Pokémon GO egg pool, so you may get one in either 2km or 5km eggs, but stumbling upon it in the wild is more common.
