Alright, so today I wanna talk about Azelf in Pokemon GO. I’ve been messing around with this little blue guy for a while now, trying to figure out the best way to use him in battles. Let me tell you, it’s been a journey!
First off, I started by catching a bunch of Azelfs. I hit up a ton of raids, did some research tasks, and even got lucky with a few GO Battle League rewards. It took some time, but I finally managed to snag a few with decent IVs. I even got a hundo! That one has a CP of 1834, which jumps to 2293 when it’s weather boosted. Pretty sweet, huh?

Then came the real work – figuring out the best moveset. Now, I knew Azelf is a Psychic-type, so he’s gonna be weak against Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type attacks. On the flip side, he can tank hits from Fighting and other Psychic-types like a champ. That’s important to keep in mind when you’re picking your battles.
I tried a few different combinations, but after a lot of experimenting, I found that Confusion and Future Sight is the way to go.
- Confusion hits hard and fast, which is great for wearing down opponents.
- Future Sight takes a bit to charge up, but when it lands, it does some serious damage.
I’m not gonna lie, it took me a while to get the hang of using them effectively. Timing is everything, especially with Future Sight. But once I got it down, man, Azelf became a beast in my lineup.
My Battle Strategy
When I’m up against a tough opponent, here’s what I usually do: I start by throwing a few quick balls at the beginning if it is a raid battle. Just to see if I can get lucky. If that doesn’t work, and if it’s a wild Pokemon, I’ll sometimes send out my Scyther. That guy’s False Swipe is perfect for chipping away at Azelf’s health without knocking it out. Then I switch to my Murkrow, or sometimes I just start with Murkrow. I use a move that’s not super effective, just to play it safe. The goal is to get Azelf’s health low enough to catch it without too much trouble.
And there you have it! That’s my experience with Azelf in Pokemon GO. It’s a powerful Pokemon with a lot of potential, especially with the right moveset. Hope this helps you guys out there who are also trying to master this little blue Psychic powerhouse!
