Pokémon GO: Moveset Update – These are the new best raid attackers

Once again, Niantic has tinkered with the strengths and weaknesses of various Pokémon in Pokémon GO.

In the last seven days, the developers have changed the movesets of various Pokémon twice. They strengthened or weakened certain values or altered the attack speed. The most affected were the Quick Moves, whose attacks took longer, resulting in Pokémon being able to deal less damage per second. On February 21, there was another update of the attacks, creating new top Arena attackers.

Have the best movesets changed?

In the latest update of the GAME_MASTER file, Niantic changed the power and attack speeds of many moves. For many moves, the attack power has been reduced, but these attacks can now be executed faster. Additionally, the developers adjusted the energy gained from many attacks to charge the special ability.

Only a few days passed between the two balance changes. Trainers are therefore uncertain whether the values will stay the same or change again in a few days. Balance changes are a critical point in Pokémon GO. They determine which Pokémon are strong and which are weak. Based on the abilities or combat values of the monsters, certain Pokémon are better suited as Arena attackers and Arena defenders than others. Balance changes shake up the “leaderboard” again.

The 10 best Arena attackers

Before Niantic changed the values yesterday, Gengar was the Pokémon with the highest damage per second (DPS) value and was considered the best Arena attacker with the moves Payload and Shadow Ball. At the top after the patch is now Heiteira, which, with Pound and Hyper Beam as moveset, achieves the highest DPS value. A current overview of the best Arena attacker movesets in Pokémon GO:
