Use the Moves guide to review recorded names and effects, then compare the option shown in your run with your Pokémon’s coverage and role. No universal best-move ranking is supported by the available comparison data.
- Review the Moves guide for recorded names and effects.
- Compare the current Pokémon and team coverage.
- Check the full in-game description before replacing a move.
- The lack of a ranking is a data limit, not evidence that no strong moves exist.
Named move examples and several transcribed effects are now recorded on the Moves guide. The supplied materials still do not compare enough moves across Pokémon and encounters to support a universal ranking.

Why There Is No Move Tier List
The supplied material includes selected move names and some described effects, but not a complete move list, verified numeric parameters, or comparisons across Pokémon and encounters. Use the selection method below for choices shown in your run rather than treating a guess as a ranking.
- Move name and displayed type.
- Observed or sourced effect.
- Pokémon access and team role.
- Version and encounter context.
Compare Moves by Their Contribution
Consider what a move adds to the Pokémon and team. Two choices serving the same purpose may give less flexibility than choices that address different matchup needs. If behavior is unclear, keep that uncertainty visible; a name alone does not confirm an effect.
- Type: what matchup does it address?
- Role: damage, coverage, or another observed purpose?
- Fit: does this Pokémon and team benefit?
- Evidence: is the effect known for this version?
A Practical Choice Sequence
Compare choices available in the current situation. Identify a team gap, review displayed details, and choose the option whose contribution you can explain. Use the type-chart and team pages to connect the decision to the run plan.
- Identify a coverage need.
- Review displayed move information.
- Compare with existing team options.
- Reassess after an encounter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best move?
Selected move names and effects are recorded on the Moves guide, but the available material does not include enough comparisons to rank one move as universally best.
Should I choose the highest damage?
The outline says to consider type and purpose, not damage alone.
How can a move improve coverage?
Compare its displayed type and role with other team options.
Are all move effects working?
The supplied material records a few displayed effects, but no versioned test results or full effect audit.
