Pokemon Go Kingdra best PvP moveset
The best moveset players can teach Kingdra for PvP consists of Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Outrage as a Charged Move.
Dragon Breath is one of the best Fast Moves in the game, thanks to its very high damage, which gets boosted by STAB. As a Charged Move, Outrage is not only a strong attack, but it’s also a little bit cheaper compared to the amount of energy Blizzard and Hydro Pump require.
If you’re looking to take advantage of Kingdra’s dual typing and expand your coverage, you can change Outrage for Octazooka. This move is the cheapest of them all, and besides being powerful, it can debuff your enemies’ attacks.
THE POKEMON COMPANYPokemon Go best Raid moveset
Kingdra’s best moveset for Raids is Waterfall as a Fast Move and Hydro Pump as a Charged Move.
Dragon Breath is a good Fast Move, but in this case, it only works if you’re planning on a full Dragon-type approach. It’s better to go with Waterfall, which is slightly better than Water Gun, and pair it with another Water-type move, such as Hydro Pump.
Outrage is too slow for Raids compared to the rest of Kingdra’s Charged Moves. Between Hydro Pump and Blizzard, you should pick the first one as it’s more powerful and has early damage.
