The 4th generation in Pokémon GO brings many strong Pokémon with it. Some Pokémon could become even stronger with better moves.
Gradually, Pokémon GO is releasing the Pokémon of the 4th generation. There are many strong Pokémon in this generation. Unfortunately, many of these Pokémon are far from being as strong as they could be, as they do not have the right moves.
The strength of a Pokémon is always determined by its stats and its moves. A Pokémon can have great stats, but if the moves are not right, then it won’t be that strong.
We will show you some Pokémon from the 4th generation that could become stronger with different moves. All mentioned moves have already been found in the game code. However, there are some moves that no Pokémon can learn yet. Pokémon from the 4th generation could be the first to master these moves.
The Starter Pokémon
The starter Pokémon of the 1st generation and two from the 2nd generation have already had a Community Day and received exclusive moves. So, it is only a matter of time until Chelast, Plinfa, and Panflam will also have a Community Day.
The same moves: So far, the Fire starters and the Grass starters have learned the same moves with Lohekanonade and Flora-Statue. Turtok has learned Hydro Cannon, a move that probably Impergator can learn when its Community Day takes place. One could also assume that the Generation 4 starters will learn these moves when their Community Day takes place.
- Chelterrar
- Flora-Statue: If Chelterrar can learn Flora-Statue as well, it will be significantly stronger than it is now. So, if you already have a good Chelast, it might be worth keeping it until the Community Day and evolving it then.
- Panferno
- Lohekanonade: Panferno will also become stronger with Lohekanonade. An evolution for the Community Day would be worthwhile.
- Counter: If one wants to deviate from the usual Community Day move, one could utilize Panferno’s secondary Fighting type. A Panferno with the fast move Counter could be a good fighting attacker.
- Boosting Hit: Not much is known about this Fighting-type move yet. It was found in the last update. It is quite possible that this move could make Panferno stronger.
- Impoleon
- Hydro Cannon: The Community Day move of Schiggy could also be learned by Impoleon. It would make it a better water attacker.
- Steel Wing: The fast Steel-type move could make Impoleon a solid Steel attacker. Its current fast move Metal Claw is not very good.
Evolutions of the 4th Generation
In the 4th generation, some Pokémon from previous generations evolve further. Some can already be developed with the Sinnoh Stone.
Many Pokémon can become really strong from this. With better moves, these Pokémon can actually become even better.
- Roserade
- Razor Leaf or Leaf Tornado: Roserade is already one of the best Grass attackers and could become even stronger with one of these moves. It can already learn Solar Beam, which is a very good move. The other two moves are just a bit faster and somewhat stronger.
- Rihornior
- Drill Run: This powerful Ground-type move could make Rihornior even stronger. Still, Earthquake is a very good move.
- Rock Slide: The Rock-type move is a better move than Stone Edge. This could raise Rihornior among the best Rock attackers.
- Earth Power: This Ground-type move has been in the game code for some time, but no Pokémon can learn this move. If this move becomes strong, it could also boost Rihornior.
- Togekiss
- Fairy Wind: Not much is known about this move. If it is a fast move, it could make Togekiss an extremely strong Fairy Pokémon since there is currently no Fairy fast move.
- Aerial Ace: With this move, Togekiss could be an even better gym defender.
- Kramshef
- Leech Seed: With the Charged move of Dark type, Kramshef would become stronger. Its current Charged move Shadow Ball is by far not as strong.
- Wing Attack and Aerial Ace: These two moves would make Kramshef a very good Flying attacker. So far, Kramshef can only learn two poor Flying moves.
- Magbrant
- Overheat: Magbrant’s stats are ideal for a Fire Pokémon. However, its current moves are extremely poor. With Overheat, Magbrant could rise among the top Fire Pokémon.
Legendary Pokémon
Legendary Pokémon have often been able to learn different moves after some time. For example, Lavados was able to learn Aerial Ace on its Lavados Day. So, other legendary Pokémon could also learn new moves.
- Dialga
- Dragon Breath and Draco Meteor: Dialga has extremely good stats and can shine because of that. However, it is currently overshadowed by Rayquaza, as it has better moves. With the best Dragon moves Dragon Breath and Draco Meteor, Dialga could surpass Rayquaza.
- Chrono Noise: This move is a special move that only Dialga can learn. It is not yet known how strong this Dragon move can become, but it could overshadow everything seen so far.
- Palkia
- Draco Meteor: Palkia can learn Dragon Breath, but not Draco Meteor. With Draco Meteor, it could also become significantly stronger.
- Spatial Rend: Spatial Rend is the counterpart to Chrono Noise. This move could also become stronger than any other Dragon move.
- Heatran
- Overheat: Heatran has the potential to become the best Fire Pokémon in the game. Its current moves are not beneficial for Heatran. With Overheat, Heatran would become significantly stronger.
- Flamethrower or Lava Plume: These two moves have only been found in the code so far. It is not yet known how strong they will be, but they could significantly strengthen Heatran.
Other Pokémon
There are also Pokémon that do not belong to any of these categories but still have potential. For example, through a Community Day, these Pokémon could learn a special move.
- Knakrack
- Earth Power: Knakrack is the best non-legendary Pokémon of the 4th generation. It has the best Dragon and Ground moveset. The move Earth Power could make Knakrack stronger as a Ground attacker. However, this move is not yet available in the game, so its strength is still unknown.
- Lucario
- Boosting Hit: Since Lucario can only learn Close Combat, the Fighting move Boosting Hit could make Lucario more interesting as a Fighting Pokémon. However, not much is known about this move yet.
- Meteor Mash: The Steel move that Metagross learned on the Community Day could also be learned by Lucario. This could make it a solid Steel attacker and all-rounder.
Some Pokémon not yet in the game: The evaluation of some Pokémon was only based on their stats. Many mentioned Pokémon are not yet available in the game and will be released at a later date.
Moves are just suggestions: To clarify: The Pokémon cannot learn the mentioned moves yet. These moves could make the Pokémon stronger, but so far, none of the Pokémon can learn any of the moves.
