Hoppip is the star of the upcoming Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go, which means lots of trainers will want to know what the best moveset for its final evolution Jumpluff is, and whether or not it’s worth for PvP and Raid battles.

The latest Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go focuses on the Johto region’s Grass/Flying-type Hoppip. As well as Shiny spawning, this event is the perfect time to stock up on Candy due to the double bonus and evolve Hoppip into Skiploom and finally Jumpluff.

While Jumpluff probably won’t set the world alight in the Pokemon Go Battle League, Raids, or Gyms, we will explore its best moveset for those fluffy fans who want to see it shine.

Pokemon Go Jumpluff best PvP moveset

The best moveset for Jumpluff in PvP is Fairy Wind as a Fast Move and Acrobatics as a Charged Move.

While both Infestation and Bullet Seed deal more damage, Fairy Wind has better energy gain and offers a wider (more useful) type coverage, so we’d recommend going with that as Jumpluff’s Fast Move.

As for Charged Moves, you’ll definitely want to keep the hard-hitting Acrobatics. However, if you want a different kind of coverage or a move that requires less energy, go for Energy Ball. They are both powerful STAB-boosted attacks.

Remember that you can only learn Acrobatics from an Elite TM or if you managed to catch a Hoppip with it from Hoppip’s Community Day back in 2022.

Pokemon Go Jumpluff best Raid moveset

Jumpluff’s best moveset for Raids focuses solely on the Pokemon’s Grass-typing with Bullet Seed as a Fast Move and Solar Beam or Energy Ball as Charged Moves.

Even though Jumpluff is a bulky ‘mon, its stats are not powerful enough and its double weakness towards Ice-type moves is bad for defending Gyms, that’s why the best option is to use the faster moves that can benefit from STAB.
