Pokemon GO Fest’s Global Edition is almost here, bringing in a lot of new in-game content that players will be able to enjoy. From Mega Rayquaza’s debut to loads of encounters with shiny creatures, there are a lot of things to look forward to during Global GO Fest 2023. One of the most appealing attractions about this year’s Global GO Fest is the appearance of Carbink in raids.
This creature has been making massive waves in Pokemon GO’s PvP community. Previously, the majority of the Pokemon trainers were unable to get this creature as it was kept behind a paywall. That, however, changes with the Global GO Fest, where you can get Carbink without having to pay any money.
In this article, we will talk about the best moves you can pair Carbink with and check if the creature is worth investing your resources.
