‘Pokemon Go’ Updated Move Guide: List of Best Moves for Each Species

A new website, pokemon.gameinfo.io, gives players information about every single move in Pokemon Go. (pokemon.gameinfo.io)

With the latest update to Pokemon Go, there are some key changes not just with the new creatures, but with the old ones as well, as several of the game’s moves were removed entirely and others are now more powerful than they were before.

When determining what makes a good move, there are a few factors to take into consideration, namely how much power the move has, how long it takes to perform, and for how much time it does damage to the enemy Pokemon. Luckily, players have put together some valuable resources you can have handy during gameplay.

A website called Pokemon.Gameinfo.io calculates exactly how much effective damage per second every single move in the game deals out and, for each Pokemon, determines the most effective moveset for offense and the move effective moveset for defense.

For more information about the DPS for every move, head over to the Pokemon.Gameinfo.io website, but we’ve compiled their data into a handy list below:
