Best PvE moveset for Entei in Pokemon GO

Best offensive PvE moveset for Entei

The best offensive PvE moveset for Entei in Pokemon GO would be Fire Fang as the Fast move, along with Flamethrower and Overheat as the Charged moves.

Fire Spin has a higher energy-generating ability, but the higher damage output of Fire Fang makes it an obvious choice over the former.

Best defensive PvE moveset for Entei

Legendary Pocket Monsters cannot be kept in Pokemon Gyms. Thus, it would be inconsequential to talk about Entei’s defensive PvE moveset.

Is Entei good in Pokemon GO PvE?

Since all of Entei’s attacks are Fire-type moves and give a Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) to Entei, it will perform great as a Gym or Raid attacker.

It has a substantial bulk, which makes it a great choice to go with if you want a reliable Fire-type attacker.

You might feel that Moltres might do a similar job as Entei, if not better (due to its additional Flying typing) since both are legendary Fire-type beasts. They are almost at par when it comes to PvE battles. It comes down to personal preference when choosing between Entei and Moltres.

Best PvP moveset for Entei in Pokemon GO

Fire Spin as the Fast move, along with Flame Charge and Iron Head as the Charged moves, would be the best PvP moveset for Entei.

Both Fire Spin and Fire Fang are similar in nature. When it comes to PvP battles, damage output goes hand in hand with energy generation. So, depending on your need, you can either go with either of the two.

Is Entei good in Pokemon GO PvP?

Entei is an average Pocket Monster to have on your roster for the GO Battle League. Even though it has a decent bulk stat backed up with a strong attack stat, it runs into a wall in the Great League as there are plenty of Water-type counters like Swampert, Azumarill, and Lantern.

In the Ultra League, Entei has a similar fate. Even though it can eliminate a lot of the powerful Fairies, Entei fails to overcome its Psychic weakness.

Overall, Entei isn’t the best Fire-type attacker despite its legendary status.
