Best PvE moveset for Dragalge in Pokemon GO
While Dragalge is not very useful as a raid attacker, it can be useful as a gym defender.
For offensive purposes, the best moveset is Dragon Tail as the Fast Move and Outrage as the Charged move. These are both Dragon-type moves. So, you will get a nice Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) benefit if you use this moveset.
For defensive purposes, Dragon Tail is the best Fast move, with Aqua Tail as the Charged move. The former does a high amount of neutral damage.
Given gym attackers love to use Rock-type creatures, Aqua Tail can prove to be very useful.
Best PvP moveset for Dragalge in Pokemon GO
Acid makes no sense as it does not give good typing coverage to Dragalge. That leaves us with Dragon Tail and Water Gun. The former would be a better choice as it does more damage.
When it comes to Charged moves, keeping a cheap shield-baiting move along with a hard-hitting damage dealer is always a good tactic. So, Aqua Tail and Outrage would be the best Charged moves for Dragalge in PvP.
