In Pokemon GO, there are multiple different opportunities for players to utilize captured Pokemon in battle, such as PvE Pokemon Raid battles, fights against Team GO Rocket, or PvP league battles. For this reason, ensuring the Pokemon you bring into battle are operating at the most powerful level is important.

This is best achieved through equipping the best Fast Move and Charged Move combination with the Pokemon you wish to use. With an opportunity for Trainers to obtain a shiny Celebi through the Shared Skies Season's Whispers in the Woods Research during June 2024, many players will be considering utilizing their new Celebi in battle, as a Gym defender, or to take down powerful Raid bosses. For this reason, players can find all they'll need to know about the best moveset combination for Celebi, and other ways to boost its power, in the guide below.

In Pokemon GO, Celebi is a Psychic and Grass Dual-Type Pokemon. Celebi has a maximum CP of 3691, and a stat spread of 210 ATK, 210 DEF, and 225 STA. Due to this type combination, Celebi has several core weaknesses to Pokemon or moves of the Fire, Dark, Ghost, Flying, Poison, and Ice Type Pokemon, as well as a 2x weakness to Bug Type Pokemon. In addition to this, Celebi will also be strong in matchups against Pokemon or moves of the Fighting, Grass, Electric, Ground, Psychic and Water Type moves.

Celebi can also boost its power when battling in Sunny weather or Windy weather, so Trainers should use to utilize these opportunities whenever possible.

When equipped with the strongest moveset combination of Magical Leaf and Leaf Storm, players can expect Celebi to deliver 14.07 damage per second on an opponent, and a total damage output of 527.1 before fainting in battle. However, while this moveset is the strongest in terms of DPS, it may not be a perfect choice every time, depending on the Type coverage in your team, other team members you are running, and opponents you are expecting to face. For this reason, several additional suitable Celebi movesets have been outlined below, as well as their expected damage output.
