All exclusive moves by catching in Pokemon Go Tour Johto

These are the featured attacks that can be learned by catching during the Tour Johto event:

Pokemon Exclusive Move
Lugia Aeroblast
Ho-Oh Sacred Fire
Celebi Magical Leaf

Lugia and Ho-Oh can be encountered in 5-Star Raid Battles during the Pokemon Go Tour Johto event, while Celebi needs to be caught as part of a ticketed Special Research story.

Aeroblast is a returning move for Lugia, but Sacred Fire for Ho-Oh and Magical Leaf for Celebi are entirely new attacks, so it’ll be interesting to see what impact they have on the meta.

Lugia and Ho-Oh will both get exclusive moves when caught during Tour Johto.

The best exclusive move to get by evolving during Pokemon Go Tour Johto is Frenzy Plant for Meganium, as this Charged Move is essential to make it a threat in the Go Battle League’s Great League.

Our next recommendation is Last Resort for Umbreon, as having this move helps make it a standout in the Great League and Ultra League by giving it neutral coverage for when Dark-type attacks won’t work.

Finally, we’d suggest trying to get Smack Down for Tyranitar, as this Charged Move will allow it to become a top-tier Rock-type attacker in Raids – especially if you can get a Shadow Tyranitar.

As for the Legendary and Mythical exclusive moves, it’s worth getting all of them (Aeroblast, Sacred Fire, and Magical Leaf) as they’re brilliant attacks that will help elevate their performance.
