It has the most optimal damage and energy gain of Alolan Marowak’s three Fast Attack options. While it does have quite a few weaknesses, most of them won’t be a factor in the Great League as most of the most used Pokemon aren’t of those types.įor its Fast Attack, Fire Spin is the preferred move. Weakness: Ghost, Dark, Water, Ground, RockĪnother regional variant from Alola, this version of Marowak has seen a lot of use in the Pokemon Go Great League. They can use Dazzling Gleam to have a powerful Fairy-type attack or they can use Psyshock, a Psychic-type move that also doesn’t take a lot of energy to use but can help take out any Poison types that Alolan Ninetales may be weak against like Venusaur. For the second slot, a trainer has a choice. It doesn’t take a lot of energy to use, which is great for eliminating your opponent’s shields and can deal good damage against Dragon and Grass types. Weather Ball Ice is a must in this format. We recommend ponying up the candy to unlock its second slot so the Ice and Fairy-type can take on different types of Pokemon in battle. When it comes to Alolan Ninetales’ Charged Attack, trainers have options. Alolan Ninetales can learn Charm, which is great against Fighting types like Medicham and Scrafty while also being a menace for any Dragon types you’ll run into like Altaria. Any Fairy-type who can learn the Fast Attack, Charm is a must-have on any team. Like many other Fairy types in Pokemon Go, Alolan Ninetales is a great option for the Great League. If you've got a second charged move, trainers can opt for Dragon Pulse to deal extra Dragon-type damage against other Altaria or you can opt for Dazzling Gleam, or the Community Day-exclusive Moonblast, to deal with other Dragon types as well as Dark and Fighting types. You're also going to want one of your charged moves to be Sky Attack because while Flying-type moves aren't always the best, Sky Attack is cheap so you can dish out attacks on the regular. It also has 3 EPT and 4 DPT, making it incredibly valuable. Swablu is a common Pokemon, though you do need 400 candy to evolve one, so you better get searching if you don't have an Altaria already.ĭragon Breath should absolutely be your charged move of choice to, you know, take advantage of the Dragon-type nature of Altaria. The fact of the matter is, since it's part Dragon-type - and strong Dragon-types are scarce at this level - Altaria is an utter beast. With so many weaknesses, you'd be forgiven for not expecting a Pokemon like Altaria to be so popular in Great League.
