Pokemon Go Naganadel best PvP moveset

The best moveset for Naganadel in PvP is Poison Jab as its Fast Move and Sludge Bomb as its Charged Move.

Poison Jab does a good job of building energy quickly while also dealing high damage thanks to STAB. This completely outclasses Air Slash which is not worth using at all.

For Charged Moves, Sludge Bomb is another STAB move that provides the best overall DPS of any of Naganadel’s attacks. Meanwhile, Fell Stinger is a great coverage move that lets Naganadel overcome both Dark and Psychic types where it would otherwise struggle, so if you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go for it.

Dragon Pulse is a decent alternative as it also benefits from STAB and offers coverage against other Dragon types, but given that Naganadel is weak against other Dragons you are usually better off switching to a different Pokemon, especially since the Ultra Beast is a glass cannon.

Pokemon Go Naganadel best Raid moveset

The best moveset for Naganadel in Raids is also Poison Jab as its Fast Move with Sludge Bomb as its Charged Move.

For PvE content, this gives Naganadel the best DPS possible against Raid bosses, especially those weak against Poison attacks like Grass and Fairy-type Pokemon.

As a Fast Move, Poison Jab is still a better option than Air Slash, and for the Charged Move, it’s best to keep Naganadel as a full Poison-type attacker with Sludge Bomb.
