Xurkitree – Best Moves & Perfect IV Stats

Now that you’ve shown Xurkitree what you’ve got in store for them and added them to your team, you’ll need not get tangled up when deciding the best moves for them. With their availability during the GO Fest 22 Finale, getting outside and battling them in a Raid will give you quick access to one of the strongest monsters in the game! Let’s find out the best Fast and Charged Moves for them!

Best Fast Moves for Xurkitree

While Thunder Shock may do slightly less damage, the energy gain that you’re getting from this move makes it eke out just slightly ahead in the overall span of things. If you’re in a ferocious battle, those extra little bits of energy could save your life at the last moment, giving you enough energy to perform their powerful Charged Move. Speaking of which, here’s the best option for that type of attack!

Best Charged Moves For Xurkitree

Once again, the underdog takes the victory here, with Discharge earning the best spot, even with a lower DPS rating. While Thunder and Dazzling Gleam do offer larger upfront damage, the huge energy requirement for Thunder makes it useless in most battles, and when paired with Thunder Shock, Discharge will earn an extra 20% Damage Boost, allowing you to sweep your enemies under the rug.

Perfect IV Stats for Xurkitree

While this stringy monster may not look like it would pack a punch, like their sibling Buzzwole, you’ll come to find that Xurkitree is one of the strongest monsters in the game.
