In Pokemon GO, there are many different opportunities for Trainers to wield captured Pokemon in battle. This includes Raid battles, Team GO Rocket encounters, Gym defenders, PvP Leagues, and more. For this reason, many Trainers take the time to ensure their team is ready for such an occasion by ensuring included Pokemon has a high CP and the best moveset available.

Ultra Beasts are very strong Pokemon and among some of the most powerful beings in the game. Because of this, many Trainers go out of their way to obtain these Pokemon in the limited opportunities they are available. Kartana is one of the Ultra Beasts featured in GO Fest 2024 during the Shared Skies season, so plenty of Trainers will be adding this Pokemon to their teams following this. To ensure Kartana operates as efficiently as possible, you will need to equip it with the best moveset combination, which has been featured in the guide below.

Best Moveset For Kartana in Pokemon GO

Shiny Kartana Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, Kartana has a Grass and Steel Dual-Typing. This means that Kartana is weak to Fighting Type Pokemon or moves, and 2x weak to Fire Type Pokemon or moves, so Trainers should avoid using Kartana in these matchups when possible. Kartana also has resistances to many different Types, which will give it the upper hand in matchups against Water, Steel, Grass, Poison, Rock, Psychic, Normal, Fairy, Dragon, and Electric Type Pokemon.

Kartana's power is further amplified when battling in Snow and Sunny weather, so Trainers should keep an eye out for these opportunities, and utilize Kartana in such circumstances.

Kartana has a maximum CP of 4156, and a stat spread of 323 ATK, 182 DEF, and 139 STA. Kartana's best moveset combination consists of Razor Leaf as the Fast Move, and Leaf Blade as the Charged Move. This combination will deal 20.29 damage per second on a foe, and approximately 427.2 total damage output before fainting. In addition to this, several additional movesets have been identified and listed in order of their damage output, in case Trainers need to tweak Kartana's moves to better suit your team layout, Type coverage, or particular foe you expect to go up against.
