The Best Moveset For Zacian in Pokemon GO

Raid Bosses are one of many mechanics and features of Pokemon GO that are constantly being altered due to the live-service approach of the game. Every season, Trainers will have the option to visit and battle against specific Raid bosses in 1-Star Raids, 3-Star Raids, 5-Star Raids, Mega Raids, Shadow Raids, and as of the Max Out Season, also Max Battles.

These Raid Bosses often rotate multiple times a season, allowing these Trainers to battle against and even capture a solid range of different Pokemon. As part of the Max Out Season and its scheduled events, Zacian made a return to Pokemon GO Raids. Following the successful capture of Zacian through this opportunity, many players will now want to utilize this Galar Legendary in future battles. To achieve the most success with this Pokemon, equipping one of its best moveset combinations is essential. Players can find all relevant information regarding the best Fast Move and Charged Move combo, as well as potential damage output, in the guide below.

In Pokemon GO, Zacian's Hero of Many Battles form is a pure Fairy-type Pokemon, meaning its weaknesses and resistances are rather straightforward. With this Typing, Hero of Many Battles Zacian is weak to Pokemon or moves of the Steel and Poison-type variety, so Trainers should try to avoid wielding it in such matchups.

However, while Zacian does have a couple of strengths: it's Fairy typing means it is strong in battle against Pokemon of the Fighting, Bug, Dark, and Dragon types. Lastly, Trainers can boost Zacian's power when battling in Cloudy weather conditions, so players should keep an eye out for such opportunities, as this will provide Zacian with an additional advantage.

In Pokemon GO, Zacian's best moveset combines the Fast Move and Metal Claw with the Charged Move, Play Rough. With this combination, players can expect Zacian's Hero of Many Battles form to deal an average of around 18.19 damage per second, and 655.9 total damage output before fainting.
