Best Moveset for Zeraora

Zeraora is an Electric-type Pokémon that can learn a few different Electric-type moves or attacks. These are as follows.

• Fast Attack
  • Spark
  • Volt Switch
• Charged Attack
  • Discharge
  • Thunder Punch
  • Wild Charge
  • Plasma Fists

These attacks are boosted during Rainy weather conditions in-game.

Looking at the above list, the best moveset for Zeraora is a combination of the ones that fit its type. Therefore, you will want to teach your rare Zeraora Spark as a Fast Attack and Wild Charge as a Charged Attack.

Please note that these are the moves you should teach Zeraora if it does not have its signature Charged Attack, Plasma Fists.

If your Zeraora comes with Plasma Fists as a Charged Attack after catching it, you can teach your rare Zeraora Wild Charge as an additional Charged attack. However, this depends on whether you have enough Zeraora Candy and Stardust.
