moveset change:
http://pokemongohub.net/niantic-adds-new-movesets-reduces-dodge-effectiveness/- chansey benefitted the most, STAB hyper beam and being a titanic HP wall on gym defense will make it annoying
- brick break is still outdamaged by stone edge, so stone edge will remain staple for hitmonlee
- water gun still will be preferred over tackle for starmie
- starmie also has psybeam replaced with psychic, now giving it a better dual STAB set
- quick attack is garbage and the weakest of the fast normal moves because of its cooldown, even with STAB it doesn't outperform neutral zen headbutt. tackle still remains preferred on porygon though zen headbutt gives it something against fighting and poison types and things that resist normal
- gengar gets a slight improvement, sludge bomb outperforms sludge wave just by coming out faster
- the switch to mud slap improves dugtrio and golem a little defense wise
- weezing losing acid leaves it with non-STAB tackle as its lone fast move
- bite and dragon breath are identical to each other in everything but type, however losing dragon breath means gyarados becomes less threatening to dragonite
- muk gets lick, giving it an option against psychics and it charges special energy faster, but DPS wise will still prefer poison jab
- seel and jiggs are NFEs, their moveset shift will have zero effect on their evos
doesn't look like it'll change on already captured pkmn, all my pre-shift pkmn have the old move
and people are reporting that any pkmn captured before the 8/20 moveset shift still have a chance at the retired moves
when trading happens, some of these old set pkmn (dragonbreath gyarados) might have high demand unless they change those too
