When Legendary Pokémon take on a shadow form in Pokémon Go, you’ll want to do everything you can to catch them. The shadow version of Cresselia is here, and we’ve got its best moveset.
Adventure Week Takeover: Shadow Cresselia, Shiny Shadow Lugia, and more!
Catching Shadow Cresselia will be tough. You have a limited time to do this by challenging Giovanni to a battle while working through the Adventure Week: Taken Over Special Research ticket. After you reach the end, you should have a Shadow Cresselia in your collection, and you'll want to make sure it learns the best moves possible in Pokémon Go.
Shadow Cresselia can learn the same attacks as its standard form, which are some of the best moves in Pokémon Go. You’ll want to teach Shadow Cresselia the fast move Psycho Cut, then the charged moves Grass Knot and Moonblast. Unfortunately, it takes time to learn all of these attacks, and you’ll have to wait for a chance to remove the charged move Frustration from its moveset.
Shadow Cresselia can only learn two charge moves: Confusion and Psycho Cut. Psycho Cut is a better attack compared to Confusion because it is faster and generates more energy each time you use it. Confusion hits harder, but is slower and provides less energy per turn than Psycho Cut. You want Shadow Cresselia to build up its energy quickly to unleash its charged moves, making Psycho Cut the winner.
