Oh, lemme tell ya about Dazzling Gleam in Pokémon GO! You see, this move, it’s a Fairy-type move. And lemme tell ya, them Fairy moves are real good against them Fighting, Dragon, and Dark Pokémon. It hits hard, dealin’ 100 damage, but it ain’t cheap, it costs ya 50 energy to use. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine move, but you gotta think if it’s the best choice all the time, ya know?
Now, some folks say, “Oh, Dazzling Gleam is better than Psychic!” Well, in some cases, maybe so. It does hit super effective against Fighting Pokémon, and if them Pokémon got fightin’ moves, Dazzling Gleam’ll protect ya better since some of them Fairy Pokémon, like Gardevoir, resist those moves twice. So, yeah, it’s pretty strong in that case. You can use it to whoop those fighters without much trouble. But then again, is it always the best choice?

Here’s the thing, though. Some people, they prefer using Moonblast instead of Dazzling Gleam. And I get it, I get it! Moonblast costs more energy, but it’s got a few tricks up its sleeve. In Pokémon GO, Moonblast has a 10% chance of lowering the opponent’s attack, which is a nice little bonus. Plus, it hits with a bit more power in some situations. If you’re up against someone like Salamence, Moonblast might be the better choice since it don’t get diluted with no multi-target modifier or anything like that.
So, if you’re fightin’ in those big ol’ gym battles or raids, Moonblast might just give ya that extra edge. But for everyday use, especially when fightin’ those pesky Dragons or Dark types, Dazzling Gleam still holds its ground pretty well. It’s easy to charge up and it hits all enemies in double or triple battles, which is somethin’ to think about when fightin’ more than one Pokémon at once.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ Dazzling Gleam is perfect, though. It’s got its weaknesses too, especially against Poison-type Pokémon. Them Poison-types can resist the Fairy moves, so if you’re dealin’ with a Muk or Gengar, Dazzling Gleam ain’t gonna help ya much. You might wanna think about switchin’ up your moves when goin’ up against them types.
In Trainer battles, Dazzling Gleam can be a solid pick too, but again, depends who you’re up against. Like I said, it’s good against Fighters, Dragons, and Dark-types, but ya gotta be careful with them Poison types lurkin’ about. So, make sure ya plan your moves right. Some folks prefer Moonblast in PvP too ’cause it’s a bit stronger in some cases. But if you want a faster charge and you’re not too worried ’bout debuffing your opponent, then Dazzling Gleam is still a mighty fine choice.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to what kinda battle you’re fightin’. If you’re lookin’ for a quick, strong hit against Fighting, Dragon, or Dark types, Dazzling Gleam is gonna do the job. But if you want somethin’ with a little more strategy, like debuffin’ your opponent’s attack or hittin’ harder in certain situations, Moonblast might be more up your alley. Just keep in mind the costs and the type advantages, and you’ll be just fine.
- Damage: 100
- Energy Cost: 50
- Strong Against: Fighting, Dragon, Dark
- Weak Against: Poison
So there ya go, Dazzling Gleam’s got its strengths, but it ain’t always the best move for every situation. Just gotta use your head and think ’bout who you’re fightin’. Pick the right time to use it, and you’ll do just fine out there.
