Pokemon Go debuts Turtonator for PvP and PvE in the Hidden Gems season

With Pokemon Go introducing Turtonator in the game, players are curious to know its best moveset for both PvP and PvE battles. Here’s everything you need to know.

Turtonator makes its debut in Pokemon Go as a part of the Dark Flames event. As a Fire/Dragon-type, Pokemon Go players expect Turtonator to be useful in battles.

While Turtonator has a good Pokemon type combination, players need to use the right moveset to get the best out of Turtonator in the game.

So let’s find out the best Pokemon Go Turtonator moveset in PvP and PvE battles.

Best Pokemon Go Turtonator moveset for PvP

Turtonator is literally a fire-breathing dragon-type!

The best Pokemon Go Turtonator moveset for PvP is Incinerate as a Fast Move along with Overheat and Dragon Pulse as its two Charged Moves.

Incinerate is among the most powerful Fast Moves in PvP due to its exceptional energy gains in battle. It has a Damage Per Turn (DPT) of 3.00 and an Energy Per Turn (EPT) of 4.00. This helps Turtonator reach its Charged Moves quickly and even though Incinerate has a large cooldown, its damage output and energy generation make up for it.

Coming to the Charged Moves, Overheat is the most powerful Fire-type move in PvP. It deals exceptional damage at a low energy cost. However, watch out for the Attack self-debuff! Dragon Pulse is also a cheap option that gets STAB and helps Turtonator deal with Dragon-types in the Go Battle League.

While Turtonator doesn’t have high attacking power, it is quite bulky and can be used in your Pokemon Raid or Gym battle as a Fire-type Pokemon.
