Okay, so, I’ve been playing a ton of Pokémon GO lately, and I really wanted to figure out the best movesets for my Pokémon. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but I’m here to share what I’ve learned.
First off, I started by just catching whatever Pokémon I could find. You know, the usual Pidgeys, Rattatas, and the occasional Eevee if I was lucky. But then I started getting into raids and battles, and I realized that having the right moveset can make a huge difference.

So I started doing some digging. I found out that each Pokémon has a pool of possible Fast Attacks and Charged Attacks. And depending on the combination, you can really maximize your Pokémon’s potential in battles. For instance, I caught this Gardevoir, which is a Fairy and Psychic-type. Now, Gardevoir is weak against Ghost, Poison, and Steel-type attacks, but it’s resistant to Dragon and Fighting. That’s important to know when you’re picking your battles.
Then I started looking into tier lists. These lists basically rank Pokémon based on their overall strength and usefulness in raids or PvP battles. I noticed some patterns. Like, the “Attackers Tier List” shows you which Pokémon are the best for raids. And you’ve got the “S Tier,” which, as you’d expect, is where the top-tier, most powerful Pokémon, especially the Dynamax ones, hang out. It’s like the VIP section for Pokémon.
I also stumbled upon some specific Pokémon details. For example, Carbink is a interesting one, it’s available in the wild and also from 2 KM eggs. It is quite useful in Great League because of its bulkiness.
Another one I was curious about was Gallade. It’s a pretty common Pokémon that pops up a lot in combat scenarios. It’s got a Combat Power (CP) of 3497, with an Attack stat of 237 and a Defense stat of 195. That makes it a pretty solid attacker, but not invincible. You gotta be smart about when you use it.
So, how did I put all this info to use? Well, I started experimenting with different movesets on my Pokémon. I’d use TMs (Technical Machines) to change their moves and then test them out in battles. It was a lot of trial and error, to be honest. Sometimes I’d get a moveset that seemed great on paper, but just didn’t work out in practice. Other times, I’d stumble upon a combination that was surprisingly effective.
- I found out that having a good mix of Fast Attacks and Charged Attacks is key.
- I learned that type advantages are super important.
- And I realized that tier lists can be a helpful guide, but they’re not the be-all and end-all.
Ultimately, finding the best moveset for your Pokémon is a bit of a personal journey. You gotta consider your own playstyle, the types of battles you’re participating in, and the specific Pokémon you’re using. But hopefully, my little adventure here has given you some useful insights to help you on your own Pokémon GO quest. Happy hunting!
