Best Moveset for Probopass in Pokémon GO

The best moveset for Probopass will take advantage of its typing in Pokémon Go. This Pokémon was first introduced to the series back in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. While its pre-evolved form, Nosepass, made its debut in the generation before with Ruby and Sapphire, Probopass sent the entire family to new heights. The only way to obtain one was by training deep within the caves of Mount Coronet. The mountain had a powerful enough magnetic force to evolve Nosepass into Probopass.

To get a Probopass, players will need to collect 50 Nosepass candy. Fortunately, there are several ways to get candy in Pokémon Go, so 50 won’t be too difficult to obtain. However, Nosepass will need to be near a Magnetic Lure Module to evolve into Probopass. This item is incredibly rare and is typically distributed during special events or through Field Research Tasks. Fortunately, it is one of the few Sinnoh Pokémon that does not need a Sinnoh Stone to evolve.

Players should aim to have at least two Probopass with different moveset, one for taking down Gyms and Raid Battles and another for defending Gyms. Probopass is a Rock and Steel-type Pokémon, meaning that Rock and Steel-type moves will receive a Same-Type-Attack-Bonus (STAB). For an offensive Probopass, use the Fast move Rock Throw and the Charged Move Rock Slide. The defensive Probopass should also run Rock Throw as the Fast Move, but use Magnet Bomb as the Charged Move. It ultimately depends on what role the Probopass needs to fill. Therefore, it’s vital to keep track of its strengths and weaknesses.

The Best Moveset For Probopass in Pokémon Go

With Probopass being Rock and Steel, this means it’s weak to Fighting, Ground, and Water-type moves. Although these typings make Probopass incredibly bulky, it will resist Poison, Flying, Normal, Fairy, Dragon, Ice, Psychic, Bug, and Rock-type moves, which is half of all typings. If trainers are only able to collect one Probopass at the moment, focus on collecting a defensive one. Because Probopass resists many different typings, it will be difficult to beat one when it holds down a Gym.

Similar to other bulky Pokémon like Chancey and Snorlax, it’s common for trainers to get fatigued fighting them. Occasionally, they may get frustrated battling Probopass and might leave altogether. This can be highly profitable as other trainers spend more time in Gyms, which results in players earning more PokéCoins. This premium currency is pretty challenging to come by, and with Probopass defending Gyms, it might make it a little easier.

Pokémon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
