After you catch it, the next step is to figure out what attacks you should teach and give Blacephalon the best moveset it can learn. There are several attack choices you can pick from, and there's only one clear answer. The attacks you\u00a0pick\u00a0will be\u00a0important\u00a0for anyone who wants to use Blacephalon in a raid or against other players in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Here's what you need to know about the best moveset to teach Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Blacephalon's best moveset in Pok\u00e9mon Go When picking the attacks for Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go, you want to go with the fast attack Incinerate and the charged moves Mystical Fire and Shadow Ball. Each attack should get a damage boost from Blacephalon's Fire and Ghost typing. You want to catch it quickly to make sure you grab Blacephalon before it disappears, too. What makes Incinerate an excellent choice for its fast move is the power and energy whenever you use it. Incinerate does 20 damage to an enemy, providing 20 energy back to Blacephalon. The downside is it takes five moves to use, so you do have to wait a bit for it to charge up. However, compared to Blacephalon's other fast move choice in Pok\u00e9mon Go, Astonish, Incinerate is superior in every way.\u00a0Astonish can't keep up regarding damage or energy generation, and\u00a0its speed doesn't\u00a0make it a better option. For Blacephalon's charged attacks, there are a few more choices in Pok\u00e9mon Go. You can select Mystical Fire, Overheat, or Shadow Ball. Of the three, Mystical Fire and Shadow Ball are the superior choices. Overheat is a strong Fire-type attack, but it has a dramatic debuff every time you use it, and the adverse effects are not worth the damage you can inflict on a foe. Is Blacephalon good in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Although Blacephalon is an Ultra Beast in Pok\u00e9mon Go, it's not one you want to use in battle against other players or raids. Blacephalon's overall stat pool is not great. It has an incredible amount of attack power, but an extremely low amount of defense and stamina. It's a glass cannon for fighting, and other Pok\u00e9mon with more well-rounded stats should be able to stand against it. You're better off catching Blacephalon once and waiting for Niantic to adjust these stats or even its moveset.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Blacephalon-Pokemon-TCG.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237773"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1237835,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773\/revisions\/1237835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1237773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

After you catch it, the next step is to figure out what attacks you should teach and give Blacephalon the best moveset it can learn. There are several attack choices you can pick from, and there's only one clear answer. The attacks you\u00a0pick\u00a0will be\u00a0important\u00a0for anyone who wants to use Blacephalon in a raid or against other players in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Here's what you need to know about the best moveset to teach Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Blacephalon's best moveset in Pok\u00e9mon Go When picking the attacks for Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go, you want to go with the fast attack Incinerate and the charged moves Mystical Fire and Shadow Ball. Each attack should get a damage boost from Blacephalon's Fire and Ghost typing. You want to catch it quickly to make sure you grab Blacephalon before it disappears, too. What makes Incinerate an excellent choice for its fast move is the power and energy whenever you use it. Incinerate does 20 damage to an enemy, providing 20 energy back to Blacephalon. The downside is it takes five moves to use, so you do have to wait a bit for it to charge up. However, compared to Blacephalon's other fast move choice in Pok\u00e9mon Go, Astonish, Incinerate is superior in every way.\u00a0Astonish can't keep up regarding damage or energy generation, and\u00a0its speed doesn't\u00a0make it a better option. For Blacephalon's charged attacks, there are a few more choices in Pok\u00e9mon Go. You can select Mystical Fire, Overheat, or Shadow Ball. Of the three, Mystical Fire and Shadow Ball are the superior choices. Overheat is a strong Fire-type attack, but it has a dramatic debuff every time you use it, and the adverse effects are not worth the damage you can inflict on a foe. Is Blacephalon good in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Although Blacephalon is an Ultra Beast in Pok\u00e9mon Go, it's not one you want to use in battle against other players or raids. Blacephalon's overall stat pool is not great. It has an incredible amount of attack power, but an extremely low amount of defense and stamina. It's a glass cannon for fighting, and other Pok\u00e9mon with more well-rounded stats should be able to stand against it. You're better off catching Blacephalon once and waiting for Niantic to adjust these stats or even its moveset.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Blacephalon-Pokemon-TCG.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237773"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1237835,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237773\/revisions\/1237835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1213973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1237773"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1237773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
