Shadow Girafarig

The Shadow Boost gives Girafarig a lot of additional power, but 0x0 is still 0.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Confusion and Psychic belong together, giving Girafarig its only moveset with a shadow of viability.
• Thunderbolt is a good move, but it has no utility here.
• Tackle and Mirror Coat are objectively bad choices.
• Psychic Fangs is meant for PvP. 

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Confusion is the best choice on defense.
• Thunderbolt provides off-type coverage.
• Psychic is an okay choice as it allows Girafarig to counter Machamp harder, but leaves it helpless against Tyranitar and Metagross.
• Tackle and Mirror Coat have no use at all.
• Psychic Fangs can be spammed on defense as a 3-bar move, but its damage output is pitiful. 

Confusion is superior to Tackle in both damage output and energy generation. Double Kick offers more energy generation, but lacks STAB and synergy with Girafarig's other moves. 

Psychic Fangs is recommended for its low energy cost, helping to bait shields while also applying a debuff to ramp up Confusion damage. Thunderbolt is Girafarig's best secondary move option, providing alternative coverage. Psychic is Girafarig's strongest Charge Move, but its energy cost is discouraging. Trailblaze offers a way to boost Girafarig's Attack, meaning it will be occasionally very useful.
