Moves
A Move in Pokemon Go is an attack used by Pokemon in battle. Each Pokemon can have two different moves at any given time. One move is designated as a Fast Move while the other is a Charge Move. During battle, you can either choose to Dodge an attack, use an Item or use a Fast/Charge Move. A Charge Move deals more damage than a Quick Move, but requires Stamina to use. A Fast Move deals less damage than a Charge Move, but restores Stamina when used. Note: Stamina is also recharged when damage is taken. Two Pokemon of the same species can have different Moves. For example, one wild Ekans may have Acid as its Fast Move and Mud Bomb as its Charge Move, while another Ekans may have Bite as its Fast Move and Wrap as its Charge Move. This randomization of Moves really helps to add an element of uniqueness to the Pokemon captured in Pokemon Go. It is also interesting to note that some Moves can be both Charge and Fast Moves, such as the Move Acid. | All Move Types | ||||
