Pokemon Go trainers can find the Fire-type Starter Fuecoco in the wild, which evolves into the powerful Fire/Ghost-type Skeledirge. Let’s go over what Skeledirge’s best moveset is for both PvP and Raid content.

The Paldea region brought with it three new starter Pokemon, one of which being the Fire-type, Fuecoco. Its final evolution form is Skeledirge, and it was added to Pokemon Go in the Paldean Adventure event that took place in 2023.

With the Go Horizons: The Series Celebration event taking place until March 11, 2024, at 8 PM local time, the Paldea starters will spawn more frequently in the wild. As such, some trainers may want to find out what the best moveset is for their new favorite Fire-type Starter evolution.

Here’s a look at the best moveset for Skeledirge in Pokemon Go for both PvP and Raid content.

Pokemon Go Skeledirge: Best moveset for PvP

Pokemon Go players should equip Skeledirge with Incinerate as its Fast Move, with Shadow Ball and Disarming Voice as Charged Moves.

Now, we should note that Skeledirge is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon. Thus, Fire and Ghost-type moves can get the STAB bonus.

Incinerate benefits from this bonus, and it boasts a higher EPS than Bite. Bite is the only other Fast Move option at this point and it is outclassed by Incinerate.

As far as Charged Moves are concerned, Shadow Ball is a Ghost-type move that comes with a higher DPE than the other options. Disarming Voice, meanwhile, is a low-cost secondary Charged Move option.

As for which moves are best for Skeledirge in Raid content, trainers should set Skeledirge with Incinerate as its Fast Move, with Shadow Ball and Flamethrower as Charged Moves.

Swapping out Disarming Voice for Flamethrower is a solid option, as Flamethrower will benefit from STAB when taking on Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel Raid bosses. Shadow Ball should stay on thanks to its type coverage and damage output.
