With Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders season beginning on March 1, a new wave of move updates is coming to the battle league. Various Pokémon are getting new attacks, and some of these moves are receiving notable changes that could shake up the impending competitive ladder.
A handful of new attacks are coming to Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders, along with several nerfs and buffs to existing ones. Running through these details is essential for those regularly participating in the Battle League cups and competitions to ensure your best teams stay in top shape against any opponent. We’re going to cover every move change coming in the season of World of Wonders, highlighting the positives and negatives.
All move change buffs and nerfs in Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders season
Multiple buffs and nerfs are coming to various attacks for Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders season, starting on March 1. These changes may hold weight for specific Pokémon, depending on how much they relied on them, and they could tip the balance for some of your favorites.
The move changes for World of Wonders are significantly lighter from previous seasons, but Aqua Tail, Cross Chop, Water Pulse, and Shadow Bone get unneeded buffs. In contrast, Brick Break costs more but is now guaranteed to lower an opponent’s defense stats by one stage.
Move Name | Move Changes |
---|---|
Aqua Tail | Increased power from 50 to 55 |
Brick Break | Increased energy cost Guaranteed to lower an opponent’s defense by one stage |
Cross Chop | Increased power from 50 to 55 |
Shadow Bone | Increase power from 75 to 80 |
Water Pulse | Increase power from 70 to 80 Lowered energy cost |
All new attacks in Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders season
We have three new attacks coming to Pokémon Go, and they’re available for a handful of select Pokémon at the beginning of the World of Wonders. All three of them are fast attacks.
- Metal Sound
- Psywave
- Sand Attack
Metal Sound and Psywave do three damage in trainer battles and six during Pokémon raids. Hopefully, these two settle around providing three energy bar attacks and likely only require one turn for you to use. However, the best case is they’re closer to Fairy Wind, and they can generate nine energy and take two turns to use.
The second attack, Sand Attack, does far less damage and only has two damage in trainer battles and four in Pokémon raids. It will likely be similar to Fury Cutter, the only fast attack that does two damage and likely provides four energy per turn.
All Pokémon moveset updates in Pokémon Go‘s World of Wonders seasons
These updated attacks will be available immediately when the new season goes live, and you can make use of them so long as you have the Pokémon in your roster, along with an available Fast TM or Charged TM.
