Best Moveset for Cresselia in Pokémon Go

Cresselia is available for a limited time in Pokémon Go. You can find it as an encounter for five-star raids. You may have received it as a reward for completing special tasks, such as the Pokémon Go Throwback Challenge held back in May 2020. When you catch Cresselia, you want to make sure you have the best moves available to use it in. the Grand or Ultra league.

Cresselia is purely a Psychic-type Pokémon. He has a max CP of 2857, an attack of 152, a defense of 258, and a stamina of 260. Not a pick you want to make in the Masters league, but it's a solid option for trainers who can keep Cresselia under 1500 CP for Great League, and is an even better choice for Ultra. It is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost type attacks but excellent against Fighting and Poison types.

These are all of Cresselia's moves.

Quick movements

• Confusion – Psychic Type (12,5 DPS)
• Psycho Cut – (Psychic-Type) (8,33 DPS)

Load movements

• Aurora Beam – Ice type (22,5 DPS)
• Futuresight – Psychic type (44,4 DPS)
• Grass Knot – grass type (34,6 DPS)
• Moonblast – Fairy-type (33,3 DPS)

Of the fast moves available, Confusion is by far the best option for Cresselia. It's a solid choice and something you want to see on any Cresselia, whether you use it primarily for raids or PVP. When it comes to a charge move, it gets a little trickier.

Although the Grass Knot is a legacy move, it's probably not the best option. It's a Grass-type attack, and Cresselia can't optimize it either, because it's not a Grass-type. You better avoid having it on your Pokemon. You primarily want to focus on lunar or future vision, and future vision is the best option. It has the highest DPS out of the possibilities, and Cresselia will do extra damage every time he uses it.

Cresselia is only available in five-star raids for limited times, so when he's in the current rotation, try using your Elite and base TMs to switch up his moves.
