Psychic Type Pokemon Go Weakness

List of all Attack Changes in Pokemon Go

by

Season 12 of Pokemon Go has brought a few changes in the moves to rebalance the PvP mode. This was in lieu of trainers complaining that the metas for Go Leagues had become stale, considering that there were hardly any differences between the Pokemon used in the 2022 World Championships and this year’s championships.

Multiple Charged Moves and Fast Moves have been either buffed or nerfed so that other Pokemon that lay in the shadows have been introduced to the meta-system. Altaria, Lanturn, and Swampert have been the most affected by the changes while Greninja and Scizor have risen to the PvP occasion.
