⚔️ Best Sentret Moveset in Pokémon GO

The best moveset for Sentret depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Scratch (Fast) with Dig (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.

For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Sentret has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.

Great League (1500 CP)

In Great League, Sentret can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fighting types.

Master League

In Master League, Sentret faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
