The best moveset players can use for Cresselia in Pokemon Go’s PvP consists of Psycho Cut as a Fast Move and Grass Knot as a Charged Move, with 9.66 damage per second and a total damage output of 503.5.

As a single-type Pokemon, Cresselia can’t get full advantage of the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) for 20% extra damage per hit, but this is the absolute best combination to exploit its defensive traits.

Psycho Cut’s fast energy gain allows Cresselia to reach its Charged Move faster, so pick this attack over Confusion. As for the Charged Move, Grass Knot provides great coverage and deals a lot of damage. Plus, it’s one of Cresselia’s cheapest moves.

Cresselia’s best moveset for Raids is Confusion as a Fast Move and Future Sight as a Charged Move.

Even though is way more expensive, Confusion is a much stronger move than Psycho Cut, so go with it for Raid encounters.
