Questions people ask

Is Bruxish good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Bruxish has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Bruxish?
Bruxish has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Bruxish a good raid attacker?
Bruxish ranks #114 of 248 psychic attackers with 10.5 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Bruxish be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Bruxish is available from photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
