    Hoopa Confined PvE Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Psychic Attacker:PsychicConfusionPsychicPsychic
    • Ghost Attacker:GhostAstonishGhostShadow Ball

    Hoopa Confined, unlike most Mythicals in Pokémon GO, has a high ATK and a viable moveset for both its typings: Psychic and Ghost. While it's usable, it is outclassed by several other Pokémon in both types. 🙂

    💫 Hoopa Confined can undergo Forme Change to Hoopa Unbound using 50 Candy and 10,000 Stardust.

    💎 Hoopa Confined’s best moveset for PvE is Confusion and Psychic.

    ⚔️ Raids

    Hoopa Confined is better as a Psychic-type attacker than a Ghost-type attacker. In either role, you have better options, such as Mewtwo, Hoopa Unbound, Alakazam, and Espeon (even without considering Megas and Shadows).

    🛡️ Gyms

    Other than Melmetal, Mythicals can't be placed in Gyms.

    Hoopa Confined PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:PsychicConfusionGhostShadow BallPsychicPsychic
    • Ultra League:GhostAstonishGhostShadow BallPsychicPsychic
    • Master League:GhostAstonishGhostShadow BallPsychicPsychic

    💎 Hoopa Confined’s best moveset for PvP is Astonish, Shadow Ball, and Psychic.

    🔵 Great League

    Hoopa Confined’s stats lean toward offense, which works against it due to Great League’s CP restriction. As such, it loses bulk and is unable to take hits, even from high-damage Fast Moves. 😐

    🟡 Ultra League

    The same problems continue to plague Hoopa Confined in the Ultra League. Moreover, there are more Dark- and Ghost-types in this format, which hurts Hoopa Confined's viability since it is double-weak to both types. Moves like Shadow Claw, Astonish, and Sucker Punch destroy this Mythical Pokémon. 😭

    🟣 Master League

    In a meta ruled by Dawn Wings Necrozma, Yveltal, and Giratina’s forms, Hoopa Confined is unable to make a mark. Its fragility is its biggest issue, as it simply can't absorb damage from the Master League’s strongest Pokémon. 😵
