Zangoose

Zangoose is yet another useless regional, and it stands out among others as a Normal Type; arguably the worst type in virtually all PvE formats. Zangoose is outclassed in every role that it could hope to perform, and offers very little value for the cost of powering it up. On top of this, the main series has nothing more to offer Zangoose's future aside from a move that was its signature move on release, Crush Claw. Regardless, it would take a huge shift in the way that Pokemon Go is played for Zangoose to have any value.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Shadow Claw should be paired with Night Slash to bring the pain to Ghost and Psychic-type Pokemon.
• Fury Cutter should be paired with Close Combat to attack Normal and Dark-type Pokemon.
• Dig is useless on an offensive Zangoose.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Shadow Claw paired with Night Slash is Zangoose’s only viable defensive moveset.
• Fury Cutter and Dig are too weak to rate.
• Close Combat is too slow to have any impact.

Shadow Claw is an objectively great move. Solid damage, great energy gain, and a narrowly resisted typing. It pairs reasonably well with Night Slash's low energy cost and Close Combat sheer power, which should be used responsibly due to the Defense debuff that it triggers every time it's used.
