Pokemon Go Cetitan: Best moveset for PvP and Raids

Cetitan has been in Pokemon Go for some time now and the meta has settled. Here is the best moveset to use on Cetitan for both PvP and Raids to make this unusual Ice type as competitive as possible.

The Winter Holiday 2023 event brought with it two Generation 9 Pokemon: Cetoddle and the Terra Whale Pokemon, Cetitan.

These unique Pokemon offer some of the highest HP in the franchise while also having an impressive Attack stat. This combination of offense and defense looks to give Cetitan a lot of potential but is that true?

Some trainers are wondering just that, so let’s break down Cetitan’s best moveset in both PvP and Raids, full movepool, and if it’s even worth using.

Pokemon Go Cetitan all moves

Cetitan has a small movepool in Pokemon GO made up of just two Fast Moves and three Charged Moves. These available moves are as follows:

Cetitan Fast Moves

• Ice Shard (Ice/STAB)
• Tackle (Normal)

Cetitan Charged Moves

• Avalanche (Ice/STAB)
• Body Slam (Normal)
• Heavy Slam (Steel)

Pokemon Go Cetitan best PvP moveset

The best PvP moveset for an offense-orientated Cetitan is Ice Shard as a Fast Move paired with Avalanche and Heavy Slam as Charged Moves.

The choice among Cetitan’s Fast Moves is a bit tight, though Ice Shard is overall the better choice. While the alternative option of Tackle actually outdamages Ice Shard, Ice is a much better offensive type than Normal giving the STAB attack the edge.

As for Charged Moves, the top choice among the three options when it comes to dealing damage is Avalanche. It has 90 base Power and 45 Energy cost while also benefitting from STAB. Its second charge move should be used on Heavy Slam for type coverage against Fairy, Ice, and Rock types.

In terms of PvP viability, Cetitan is not a standout Pokemon when playing competitively against other trainers. Its weak defensive typing and Defense-oriented stats do not make for a good combination meaning Cetitan will likely struggle to compete.

According to PvPoke’s ranking as of April 2024, Cetitan places at a pitiful 331st in the Great League and 276th in the Ultra League. While it sits at a fairly respectable 92nd in the Master League, Cetitan still has a hard time against many matchups. Additionally, there are more capable Ice types like Hisuian Avalugg and Mamoswine.

Pokemon Go Cetitan best Raid moveset

The only viable moveset for Cetitan in Raids is Ice Shard as its Fast Move and Avalanche as its Charged Move.

This combination takes advantage of STAB to make Cetitan the best Ice-type Attacker it can be. In saying that, Cetitan is by no means top-tier, and although it is viable against middling Raids, the Terra Whale Pokemon will struggle against higher-difficulty content.
