Pokemon GO Altered Forme Giratina Best Moveset
So, now we know what the best Giratina Altered weakness and counters in Pokemon GO, so now let’s dive into its best moveset. Now, the Altered Forme Giratina is is a Ghost / Dragon Pokemon, and it’s probably best to play to its strengths. So, my recommendation would be to pick Shadow Claw (Ghost) as the Quick Attack and Dragon Claw (Dragon) as the Charged Attack. If you want to, you can also go full dragon with Dragon Breath as the Quick Move. Another alternative is a full Ghost “build” with Shadow Sneak as the Charged Attack. To be honest, that’s pretty much the entirety of Altered Giratina’s moveset, anyway. The only other attack on its list is the Ancient Power (Rock) Charged Attack.
