Best Movesets for Falinks

For players who have yet to play the newest entries in the series, Falinks is a Fighting type Pokemon that does not evolve into any other form. In Pokemon GO, Falinks keeps these same characteristics as well as also being available in its shiny form. Although Falinks has yet to be released as of writing, its moves have already been announced.

For a moveset that maximizes the damage output (or DPS) of Falinks, having the move Counter as a fast attack and Superpower would be a wise decision. Falinks, being a Fighting type, is also weak to Psychic type attacks. Fighting type attacks also deal less damage to Psychic type Pokemon.

Falinks has access to the move Megahorn which is a strong Bug type charge attack. However, while Superpower can be used twice off of a full charge, Megahorn can only be used once.
