Recommendation of Moves to Win Gym Fights

Recommendation of moves that are available for Pokemon Go. The most important factor for moves is its DPS (how much damage the moves causes in a second). Its best to power up the pokemons that know these moves.

Factors for Choosing Moves

For every single move, a stat such as Power and Gauge is set. But the most important factor to consider when choosing moves is its DPS. Not matter what the move is, the move with a high DPS would be the best choice. Also if the Pokemon using the move has the same type of move as the move itself, the power of the move would then increase. So even if the move itself isn’t very powerful, it might end up having a high DPS if the types are matched. Generally it’s best to aim for a matched type. Other than that, it would be wise to choose moves that are super effective against most Pokemons, or ones that doesn’t affect the least.

Whats DPS

DPS (Damage Per Second) measures how much damage the moves causes in a second. For Pokemon GO, all the moves have different motions and wait time. Therefore, a
move that has a short wait time will most likely overpower the move with a high firepower. Since you will constantly be using moves during a gym battle, it’s best to be able to use a move with a high DPS.

Recommended Moves for Move 1

Although Move 1 lacks in firepower, you can use them in a short spam. It’s best to mainly use Move 1 during a gym battle.

Recommended Moves for Move 2

To use move 2 you have to consume a gauge. Although it has a high power, it takes time to use it, and creates a large gap before the Pokemon performs it. Since you are most likely to take damage before performing it, use it when you have spare HP.
