THE POKEMON COMPANYZekrom is one of the most powerful Legendaries available to catch in Pokemon Go, but you’ll need to know its best movesets to get the most out of it in both types of battle.
The Dragon/Electric-type Zekrom first appeared in Black & White’s Unova region and made its way to Pokemon Go in 2020, quickly becoming a favorite for both the Battle League and as a Raid attacker.
Now, this Legendary is returning to 5-Star Raids for the 2025 Pokemon Go Tour Unova, so here are our recommendations for Zekrom’s best movesets if you’re looking to catch one in Niantic’s game.
Best moveset for PvP
One of the best PvP movesets for Zekrom in Pokemon Go is Dragon Breath as the Fast Move with Fusion Bolt as the Charged Move.
While Charge Beam might generate energy faster, the damage output is worthless, so go with Dragon Breath for your Fast Move. It also benefits from STAB and has a very high TDO.
For the Charged Move, Fusion Bolt is the ultimate best as it is an outstanding nuke that gets even more powerful due to STAB. Wild Charge deals more damage, but its self-debuff makes it not worthy.
As always, if you can afford a secondary Charged Move, expand your coverage and bait shields with Crunch, or go with a powerful Dragon move with Outrage.
THE POKEMON COMPANYBest moveset for Raids
Zekrom’s best moveset for Raids consists of Charge Beam as its Fast Move and Fusion Bolt as its Charged Move.
As mentioned above, Fusion Bolt is the ultimate best Charged Move for Zekrom, so keeping that idea – and the fact that it’s smarter to play Raids with only one type – you should get an Electric Fast Move too.
Because for now Zekrom only has two moves and only one is Electric, you have to use Charge Beam. It might be underwhelming, but has good synergy with Fusion Bolt.
All moves Zekrom can learn in Pokemon Go
The Legendary Zekrom has an outstanding move pool, with only two Fast Moves but five Charged Moves. More so, they are very varied as they include Steel, and Dark besides the expected Electric and Dragon attacks. This way trainers can switch between them according to their opponents.
Zekrom Fast Moves
- Dragon Breath (Dragon/STAB)
- Charge Beam (Electric/STAB)
Zekrom Charged Moves
- Flash Cannon (Steel/STAB)
- Wild Charge (Electric/STAB)
- Outrage (Dragon/STAB)
- Crunch (Dark)
- Fusion Bolt (Electric/STAB/Legacy Move)
