Bulldoze in Pokemon Survivor

Bulldoze at a glance

What Bulldoze does

Bulldoze is a Ground-type aura move. Shakes the ground: damages and slows everything nearby.

A Pokemon can learn it if it is Ground-type, which is true of 70 of the 966 Pokemon. It reaches you as a new-move card when you level up, as long as one of your four move slots is free. No Pokemon begins a run with it, so you only find it on level-up cards. Each level-up draws three cards by weight from up to six new-move candidates, your move upgrades and the stat cards, so even a good move can sit out several level-ups.

It slows enemies.

Bulldoze stats by level

At level 1, Bulldoze deals 11 damage with a 0.7 second cooldown. At level 5 that becomes 24 damage every 0.49 seconds, which is 48.8 potential damage per second against 15.7 at level 1.

Potential damage per second multiplies damage by the number of hits and divides by the cooldown. It assumes every one lands on the same enemy and leaves out the Pokemon's attack multiplier, your cards and the type chart, so treat it as an upper bound for comparing levels and moves, not as a kill time.

Bulldoze level-up changes

Each level-up card for Bulldoze applies the changes below. They stack, so the level 5 row above already includes all of them.

• Level 2: +30% radius
• Level 3: +45% damage
• Level 4: -30% cooldown
• Level 5: +30% radius, +50% damage

Bulldoze evolution: Earthquake

Bulldoze evolves into Earthquake when it reaches level 5 and you have taken the Power card at least once in the same run. Once both are true, a golden evolution card is always offered at your next level-up. Until then, the Power card keeps showing up with a note that it unlocks this evolution, so you do not have to hunt for it.

Earthquake keeps the Ground type and the same slot. Its damage goes from 24 to 43 and its cooldown stays at 0.49 seconds. The move evolution guide lists all 59 evolutions and the cards they need.

• +80% damage
• +35% radius

How to use Bulldoze

• Aura moves do not need a target: Bulldoze fires on its cooldown wherever you are.
• Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel take 60% more damage from Ground moves, while Grass and Bug take 40% less and Flying takes only 30% of the damage. Enemies with two types multiply both effects. See the type chart.
• Other aura moves are Grass Knot, Discharge, and Bug Buzz. The moves list compares all 64.
• Each Reflexes card multiplies every cooldown by 0.92 and each Power card multiplies damage by 1.10. After 5 Reflexes cards the 0.7 second cooldown of Bulldoze at level 1 becomes 0.46 seconds.
• Only the move group in your active slot fires, and every move in the group keeps its own cooldown timer. A bond, which a rift win gives you, fuses loose moves into one group.
• Weather can boost or weaken Ground moves: see the weather guide.
