Best moveset

Sliggoo can learn 15 combinations. Dragon Breath with Dragon Pulse does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.

Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.

Best moveset against each type

Sliggoo does not have one best moveset, it has 5. Which one wins depends on what you are attacking, because a move only gets its bonus against something weak to it. Best against Dragon, Ground, Rock.
