The different typing Hisuian Decidueye received changed the starter Pokemon’s meta, so let’s break down its best moveset for PvP and Raid battles in Pokemon Go.

The main difference between both creatures is the change in typing from Grass/Ghost to Grass/Fighting. So if you want to add this ancient starter to your Pokemon Go team, here are its best movesets.

Pokemon Go Hisuian Decidueye best PvP moveset

Hisuian Decidueye’s best moveset for PvP is Magical Leaf as a Fast Move and Aura Sphere as a Charged Move.

Magical Leaf is Hisuian Decidueye’s Fast Move of choice, thanks to a handful of factors. First of all, its STAB damage will benefit it more compared to Psycho Cut. Additionally, Magical Leaf provides higher DPS overall compared to Psycho Cut, making it more efficient.

Hisuian Decidueye’s Charged Move should be Aura Sphere. While it’s essentially a tossup between that and Energy Ball, the extra type of coverage that a Fighting move provides will be more helpful in the long run. Finally, the second Charge Move option should go to Trailblaze as it can increase the user’s Attack by 25%.

The best moveset you can pick for Hisuian Decidueye in Raids is Magical Leaf as a Fast Move and Trailblaze as a Charged Move.

As mentioned above, out of the two Fast Move options, Magical Leaf is the best due to its higher damage and STAB benefit.

For the Charged Move, you should pair Magical Leaf with another Grass-type attack for extra STAB damage, and between Energy Ball and Trailblaze, the latter one is way better. However, if you’re looking for a more defensive aproach, you could switch it for Aerial Ace.
