Charged Attacks
  • Introduction
  • Fast Attacks
0

Charged Attacks are usable by your Pokémon when a number of energy bars are filled, and generally have a higher DPS than Fast Attacks.

These Charged Attacks have a chance (typically 5%) to be a Critical Hit, and can also be dodged by the opposing Pokémon.

Each Pokémon in Pokémon GO can have one Charged Attack, drawn at random from up to four possibilities.

The following table details all Charged Attacks in the game, grouped by type. Feel free to use your browser's search function with Ctrl+F to find a particular attack!
