Best Charged Moves in Pokemon Go
- Mewtwo – Psystrike
- Moltres – Sky Attack
- Groudon – Fire Punch
- Ho-Oh – Sacred Fire
- Registeel – Zap Cannon
- Venusaur – Frenzy Plant
- Swampert – Hydro Cannon
- Charizard – Blast Burn
- Metagross – Meteor Mash
- Walrein – Icicle Spear
- Gengar – Shadow Punch
- Rhyperior – Rock Wrecker
- Blaziken – Stone Edge
- Lickitung – Body Slam
Mewtwo is the clear standout here, so if you don’t have one that knows Psystrike, that should be your priority. When paired with Psychic as a Fast Move, it can be a threat across PvE and the Go Battle League.
It’s also worth considering the rarity of these moves. Some are Community Day-exclusives, which means they could very well appear again, while others like Groudon’s Fire Punch only appeared in special events.
As a side note, many of these unique Moves function best when paired with another Charged Move, so it’s always worth looking into purchasing a secondary attack if you have enough Candy and Stardust.
What are Elite Charged TMs in Pokemon Go?
While regular Charged TMs will switch up your chosen Pokemon’s Charged Move at random, Elite Charged TMs give you the option to select the specific attack you want, which can save you a lot of time and resources.
The second major benefit of Elite TMs is that you can teach attacks that are no longer available, like Legacy Moves and Community Day-exclusive Moves, which are often the best attacks a ‘mon can learn.
