• Steel Attacker:Fire SpinIron Head

In Pokémon GO, Solgaleo may have good stats but it's cursed with a terrible moveset in both the Psychic and Steel type meta. As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Zen Headbutt and Psychic Fangs form a poor duo, dealing DPS lower than even Jynx, Solrock, and Starmie! Psychic Fangs are its defining move in Trainer Battles.

As a Steel-type Pokémon, it has great potential but only if it gets access to Metal Claw in the future. At the moment, Solgaleo has no Steel-type Fast Move in Pokémon GO and as such, is quite useless in this meta. Comparing it to Dusk Mane Necrozma, which is a fused form of Solgaleo, shows just how much Solgaleo is behind as a Raid Attacker.

⚔️ Raids

Solgaleo’s only use lies in collecting Fusion Energy to turn it into Dusk Mane Necrozma, a top-notch Steel-type attacker. As Solgaleo, it offers no value unfortunately. 👎

🔵 Great League

N/A

🟡 Ultra League

Solgaleo performs rather poorly in the Ultra League. Better Steel-type Pokémon like Registeel, Cobalion, Steelix, and Galarian Stunfisk make Solgaleo an afterthought in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

In terms of stats, Solgaleo is a bulkier Metagross, but works as a pseudo Fire-type Pokémon thanks to Fire Spin and Flamethrower. This, along with Solgaleo's Psychic/Steel typing, make it a great counter to Steel and Ice type Pokémon while resisting their attacks. Additionally, it is able to tank Fighting-type moves like Close Combat from Zacian. That's not all as Psychic Fangs lowers the opponent’s DEF even in unfavorable matchups. 👏👏👏

All these traits make Solgaleo an excellent partner to Dragon types! 🐲 Individually, it struggles to dish out high damage output and it excels as a support Pokémon, which is fantastic honestly! 💯

💎 The best PvP moves for Solgaleo are Fire Spin, Flamethrower and Psychic Fangs.
