Cresselia is making its way back to 5-star raids in Pokemon GO, and fans are quite curious to know whether it can be shiny and what the best moveset for the Pokemon is.
Cresselia is a Psychic-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 4 and is a part of the Lunar Duo along with Darkrai. For players wondering whether Cresselia can be shiny in the game or not, the good news is that a shiny variant of the Pokemon exists in the game. However, unlike some other Pokemon, it can be a bit tricky to figure out whether Cresselia is shiny or not, considering that the color difference is a bit subtle. Players should focus on the gem on Cresselia's head, as it is green in color instead of regular pink. The same goes for its wings as well. Additionally, the shiny symbol beside its CP is another reliable way of knowing whether the Pokemon is shiny or not.
Pokemon GO: Best Poison Types
Pokemon Go has many different types of Pokemon; here are the best Poison types.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Cresselia
Considering that Cresselia is a legendary Pokemon, the odds are a bit special with 1 in 20. It should be noted that some Pokemon have 1 in 64 odds, so this is one of the best odds players can get in the game. However, it is crucial to note that this resets every raid, so every time players encounter Cresselia, there will be a 1 in 20 chance of it being shiny. Players should roughly aim to attempt around 30 to 40 raids, and they should ideally be able to encounter a shiny one. However, this is again not guaranteed, and players might as well get one on the first raid itself.
Best Moveset For Cresselia
Cresselia has a number of good moves which players can choose from. While its Fast Moves only consist of Psychic-type attacks in the form of Psycho Cut and Confusion, players do get a lot of coverage in its charged moves with Moonblast, Aurora Beam, Grass Knot, and Future Sight as the available moves. Amid that, here are the best moves for Cresselia.
- Psycho Cut- It is a fast Psychic-type attack, that benefits from the STAB, deals 5 damage, and generates 8 energy. It is strong against Fighting and Poison types and weak against Steel, Psychic, and Dark types. It has a DPS of 8.33
- Future Sight- This is a charged Psychic-type attack that deals 120 damage and generates 100 energy. It has a DPS of 44.44
If players are looking for moves of different types, then Grass Knot and Moonblast are the best options, in order of their priority.
