PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Shadow Claw be paired with Shadow Ball for great damage.
  • Dragon Tail should be paired with Dragon Pulse, though this moveset is outclassed.
  • Ominous Wind is a poor raid move.

PVE Overview

With Giratina's Distortion World Forme, this Pokemon finally has relevance in battle. Thanks to an update to its moveset pre-release, Giratina-O has a great place as right behind Lick/Shadow Claw Gengar in Ghost-type DPS with a really high TDO. It will face some competition from Darkrai in the future but it's likely a very safe long-term investment regardless. It has decent Dragon-type damage as well, but there's much more competition.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Shadow Claw+Shadow Ball and Ominous Wind

Shadow Claw is Giratina-O's quick move of choice, granting it 3 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 4 EPT (Energy Per Turn), which allows it to do solid, narrowly resisted, STAB damage while also gaining energy very quickly. These advantages also translate into its charged moves and allow it to run a pure-ghost set with Shadow Ball (100 Power/55 Energy) and Ominous Wind (50 Power/40 Energy). The former offers fantastic power and good energy cost, while the later comes out a bit faster and is a bit weaker, but it also has the potential to raise all of Giratina-O's stats, which can be a game-winner if luck smiles early on. 

Shadow Claw+Shadow Ball and Dragon Pulse

Largely the same moveset, but this one foregoes the use of the high-risk high-reward Ominous Wind for a bit more stability from Dragon Pulse (90 Power/60 Energy). This allows it to fare a bit better against opposing dragons, mainly Dragonite. It's also viable to use Dragon Tail instead of Shadow Claw on any set in order to gain a different yet also fantastic neutral STAB damage profile. Dragon Tail does have a solid 3 DPT  and 3.33 EPT, which makes it a strong move that trails slightly behind Shadow Claw in neutral matchups. But other pokemon such as Dialga perform the dragon-on-dragon matchup better.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

Giratina's CP is too high to enter the Great League

Ultra League: 4.75 / 5

Giratina-O duels its Altered self for the crown of Ultra League, and with good reason. Its stats are wonderfully set for the Ultra League, its moveset is fantastic, and its typing is great. Its two forms have remarkably similar performance, though Giratina-A benefits from the extra coverage and bulk. It's a genuinely dangerous Pokemon, and in the off chance it gets a boost or two from Ominous Wind, it becomes even more frightening and deadly.

Master League: 5 / 5

It's here that the Renegade Pokemon arguably pulls ahead of its Altered counterpart, retaining its sheer power when fully unbound. However, here in the Master league, it's not quite as oppressive and centralizing a force. It now has to worry about Pokemon such as Tyranitar and Dialga seeing more use, and more Pokemon able to challenge it. It generally has just a bit less general utility than the current crown-holder Dialga, but it fills different wide niches that other Pokemon are hard-pressed to fill. For example, it can remove huge threats such as Lugia, Melmetal, Metagross, Lucario, and its own Altered form. If you intend to play in the Master league, you're going to want a Giratina-Origin for your team.
