What makes some moves better than others?

There are various different factors that can help you to judge which moves will be good for your Pokemon. Obviously, you will like to train your Pokemon with the best moves, but how to find out which move is better than the others? Quite simple!

There is this term known as STAB, Same Type Attack Bonus, which you get when your Pokemon uses the move that matches its own type. For instance, a fighting type Pokemon like Machamp using a Fighting Move like Dynamic Punch will reward you with some extra points during the battle.

The other deciding factor for the better move can be the damage it can do to other Pokemons. Not every move works well for every type of Pokemons. Thus, matching the Pokemon type and move type is important, but using the move against the most vulnerable opponents also matters a lot.

The time your Pokemon takes to perform a particular move also plays a major role as if your Pokemon is taking several seconds to perform a single move, it breaks your cover and the situation becomes risky as you are giving room to the opponent to counter your attack or perform his own fast moves before you to fight back.

Although finding all these traits in a single move is quite challenging to find, however, you must have got the idea to choose a good move. Try to find these traits if possible, even if not all, at least one of these aspects should be matching as each of these aspects have their own benefits as well.

FAQs

Pokemon GO has a pretty clear ideology behind that as each and every move has its own stats that you can check to compare the moves. However, the real-world experiences may vary as per your game-sense and how well you know your Pokemon. You can still beat a Pokemon with an extremely powerful move set if you know how to time your moves and tackle the opponent on time.

The Reroll (or re-roll) term is quite common in the world of RPG games where game players or characters have several stats and move sets to perform. The term refers to reset the stats of a character. However, in the world of Pokemon GO, the meaning of “reroll a move” means to use a TM (Technical Machine) to get a new move for your selected Pokemon, it can be a new fast move or charged move depending on the type of Technical Machine you are using for the process.

Yes, using Multiple TMs on a single Pokemon in the Pokemon GO game is absolutely possible as using it once will only make your Pokemon learn one move only. Whereas the number of moves that you can teach is multiple, so yes, you can use TMs on Pokemons as many times as you want until you max-out the Pokemons complete move set.

As every Pokemon has a vast variety of moves in their entire move sets, Pokemon GO keeps introducing new moves for every Pokemon and removes the previous ones, these removed moves are basically called as Legacy moves.

So, the Legacy moves are not accessible to learn through TMs, so you only get what is available at the time you use the machine. Although these Legacy moves, once gone, are kept as surprises for players to offer during upcoming events and Community Day programs. So, you can get one if you are lucky, but not from the TMs as of now.

Conclusion

We hope you have learned most about the Pokemon GO charge TM and fast TM elements from this guide. Although the results of using TMs are very random, it is always a win-win situation for you since your Pokemon is getting to learn a new move.
