Alright, let’s talk about Nidoqueen in Pokemon Go. I’ve been messing around with this Pokemon for a while now, and I gotta say, finding the right moveset can be a real game-changer. So, I started by digging around to see what other folks were saying. Most people agree that Poison Jab for the fast move is the way to go. It’s quick, it does decent damage, and it gets that Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) since Nidoqueen is part Poison-type.
Then came the hard part: choosing the best charged move. After testing out a few different combinations, I found that Earth Power is a solid choice. It hits hard, it’s got good coverage, and since Nidoqueen’s also Ground-type, it gets that sweet STAB action. But it’s not just about raw power. It’s also great that there’s a move that works well against those pesky Fairy-types, especially since Fairy is super effective against Poison. I used Earth Power and it really did the trick.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I tried:
- Poison Jab: Like I said, this is my go-to fast move. Fast energy generation, good damage. No complaints here.
- Earth Power: Deals with Rock and Steel types that might give Nidoqueen some trouble, plus it just hits like a truck.
- Sludge Wave: This is another one to consider. Another powerful Poison-type charged move. It’s a really strong move to use, and it helps to deal with Fairy-type.
So, I played a bunch of battles using this setup. In some of them, I found that Earth Power was a good choice because it can help me handle some types, but in others, Sludge Wave really saved my skin. I ended up winning a good chunk of those battles, especially against teams that were weak to Ground or Poison. Nidoqueen’s not gonna sweep every team, but with the right moves, she can definitely hold her own.
My Final Thoughts
After all this experimenting, I’m pretty confident in saying that Poison Jab and Earth Power or Sludge Wave is the best moveset for Nidoqueen in most situations. It gives you good type coverage and lets you take advantage of that STAB damage. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on your playstyle and the meta in your area, but this is a great starting point if you’re looking to beef up your Nidoqueen.
One more thing. I looked into what Pokemon are tough for Nidoqueen to beat. Stuff like Mewtwo, Alakazam, and those strong Primal Pokemon – yeah, they can be a real pain. But hey, every Pokemon has its counters, right? Nidoqueen is great when it is a support member.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with you guys. I had a lot of fun figuring this out, and I hope it helps some of you trainers out there. Good luck, and happy hunting!
