In Pokémon GO, there are some attack changes and corrections to the battle system. Additionally, the new attack “Flying Press” lands in the game.
This is changing in the battle system: Pokémon GO is making changes to some battle elements. In addition to corrected display errors, a new action order has also been introduced.
Charging attacks and switching the currently battling Pokémon will now be queued in trainer battles. These actions will now be activated after the end of an executed fast attack. This is to prevent overlaps.
Additionally, there were some changes to attacks as well as the new attack “Flying Press”. What does the attack do?
This is how strong Flying Press will be in Pokémon GO
This is Flying Press: After the attack was already uncovered by dataminers, it is now coming to the game. According to the blog, it will be a charging attack of fighting type. However, which Pokémon can learn it is still unknown.
In the main games, Flying Press is a dual-type attack of fighting and flying types. It is the special move of the fighting/flying Pokémon Resladero from the 6th generation, but it can also be learned by the special wrestler Pikachu.
Resladero is currently not in the game yet. It’s possible that a new event Pikachu is coming soon or other Pokémon will be able to learn the attack. Recently, you could catch Pikachu with a party hat.
This is how strong Flying Press will be: Dataminers have noted in the “Gamemaster Update” on Reddit that Flying Press will come into the game with a damage value of 110. “Pokefans.net” lists the attack with damage of 47.83 per second and -50% energy. Thus, Flying Press would be among the strongest attacks in the game. Whether it will change anything about the best attackers will be seen as soon as it is known which Pokémon can learn the attack.
Pokémon GO with even more attack changes
This is also changing with the attacks: Some Pokémon can now learn new attacks that can provide them with new advantages in PvP. These include:
- Plusle and Minun learn the charging attack Strauchler
- Lanturn learns Spark Jump
- Ampharos learns Thunderstrike
- Maskeregen can learn Bubble Beam
- Honweisel learns Fury Cutter and Air Slash
Additionally, some Pokémon are getting older attacks back that are quite strong and should make the respective monsters more interesting in PvP:
- Raichu: Thunder Shock
- Magneton: Thunder Shock and Charge Beam
- Omot: Poison Fang
- Alpollo: Shadow Ball
- Hypno: Shadow Ball
Finally, two attacks have been improved. The Bug-type attack Vielender now causes more damage. The Electric-type move Volt Switch is now activated faster and generates energy faster.
