Pokemon Go Barbaracle best PvP moveset

Barbaracle’s best moveset forPvP battles consists of Fury Cutter as its Fast Move and Cross Chop as its Charged Move.

Fury Cutter might seem odd on paper, but the move makes up for its lack of damage by being able to create energy quickly, while also giving Barbaracle quick access to its secondary moves.

For the creature, we recommend the Fighting-type move Cross Chop for its Charge Attack, as its low cost means it can be spammed to bait opponents’ shields and is the perfect counter to popular Rock/Steel types.

For a secondary Charged Move, pair Cross Chop with Stone Edge as it will decimate Flying Pokemon.

Unlike PVP, Barbaracle should lean on its Fast Attack, Water Gun. Its decent attack damage and quick energy gains makes it perfect against Fire-type raid bosses. It also benefits from STAB and gives the Pokemon early access to its Charge move.

As for the Charge Move, it’s better to go with Stone Edge as it benefits from STAB, but can also target Water and Rock-type enemies, while dealing an outstanding amount of damage.
