Oh, you know, when I was lookin’ at this Dazzling Gleam move in that Pokemon GO game, I thought to myself, “Now what’s this all about?” Well, turns out, it’s a Fairy-type move, and boy oh boy, it sure can be useful if you know when to use it. You see, Dazzling Gleam ain’t no weak move—it hits hard, doin’ a full 100 damage! That’s somethin’, ain’t it? And all it costs is 50 energy. Simple, right? But there’s a bit more to it than just numbers.
Now, let me tell ya, this move is real strong against certain kinds of Pokémon, like them Fighting, Dragon, and Dark-types. Oh yeah, they don’t stand a chance when Dazzling Gleam comes their way. It’s like givin’ ’em a good slap on the wrist, ’cause Fairy moves are just real good at takin’ them down. You ever try it against a Dragon-type? Ha! It’s like watchin’ that big ol’ dragon fall from the sky. It’s super effective, let me tell ya.
But now, here’s where it gets tricky, alright? Even though Dazzling Gleam hits hard, it’s not always the best choice. Yeah, I know, sounds funny, don’t it? But there’s this other move called Moonblast that folks like to use instead sometimes. You see, Moonblast only costs a little less energy but does the same amount of damage, and it’s got a lil’ extra—sometimes it can lower the opponent’s attack. That’s real handy in them tough battles. So, some folks say, “Why bother with Dazzling Gleam when you can use Moonblast?” and I get that, I do.
But here’s somethin’ Dazzling Gleam can do that Moonblast can’t. It can hit more than one opponent at once in them double or triple battles! Yeah, that’s right. If you’re up against a bunch of Pokémon, Dazzling Gleam hits ’em all! It’s like throwin’ a big ol’ blanket over the whole lot of ’em. That’s somethin’ you just don’t get with Moonblast, so if you’re fightin’ more than one Pokémon at a time, Dazzling Gleam might just be what you need.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it’s perfect. Dazzling Gleam ain’t so hot against Poison-types, or some others like Steel. It just don’t do as much damage to them, you know? But that’s alright, no move is perfect for everything. You just gotta know when to use it, and when to use somethin’ else. Like, if you see a Fighting or Dragon Pokémon, Dazzling Gleam is your best friend. But if you’re up against somethin’ like a Poison-type, maybe switch to a different move.
Another thing folks might not know, Dazzling Gleam’s got some competition with other Fairy-type moves, like Psychic, but lemme tell ya, Dazzling Gleam’s better for takin’ down them Fighting types. Psychic don’t do nearly as well, especially if that Fighting Pokémon’s got any Fighting-type moves of its own. Fairy-type moves like Dazzling Gleam double resist that. So yeah, I’d say if you’re pickin’ between Psychic and Dazzling Gleam, Dazzling Gleam’s the way to go in that case. It’s stronger and just gets the job done better.
And let’s not forget, some Pokémon really shine with Dazzling Gleam. Like Gardevoir, oh yeah, that’s a good one for it. You give Gardevoir Dazzling Gleam and send it out against a Dragon or Fighting Pokémon? Oh, they won’t know what hit ’em! You just sit back and watch ’em fall like flies. It’s a sight, I tell ya. Some other Pokémon that can use Dazzling Gleam are Togekiss and Alakazam, and they do just fine with it too.
So, in the end, it’s all about knowin’ when to use Dazzling Gleam. It’s got its moments where it’s the best thing you could pick, like in battles with multiple opponents or when you’re fightin’ a Dragon or Fighting Pokémon. But there’s also times when maybe somethin’ like Moonblast or another move might do you better. You just gotta keep your eyes open and know what you’re up against. If you do that, Dazzling Gleam’ll serve you just fine, no doubt about it!
