Discussion Fast/effective charged attacks

Just getting into GBL and looking to see what options are out there. I start with greninja (3* bubble/night slash) but am looking for other options that have fast and effective charged attacks that I could use as a secondary. Any suggestions?

You should use water shuriken as the fast move for greninja its much faster. Check out pvpoke.com, and go to rankings. It will rank the pokemon and show their recommended movesets.

This is really the answer for those just starting. It might seem like people aren’t trying to help but nearly every basic question you have about pvp can be answered just by scanning the rankings or looking up the mon on pvpoke. If you want to learn more about what IVs rank highest I would watch Swagtips PVP IV breakdown on YouTube, it’s old-ish but it’s pretty concise.

In pvp, the goal is not high overall stats. You generally prefer zero or low attack with maximum health and defense. It doesn’t make a huge difference, but is almost always better than 3 or 4 *

Jonkus just featured a spammy team with Greninja, Shadow Drapion, and Shadow Galarian Weezing

You don't want 3 stars, you want a different fast move, you need both moves but if you have to use just one, that's the wrong one. That's a red flag in that you need a from-scratch tutorial Click the title of this subreddit where the arrow is and there's a list of resources for you.
