Four moves, not one more: the choice is often a dilemma. Should you keep Cut on Torterra? Teach Garchomp Earthquake or wait for Dragon Rush? Here, for the best Pokémon of the adventure, is the ideal set, with the level learned or the TM, and where to find it.
Three principles guide these choices: take advantage of the type bonus (a move of the Pokémon’s own type gains 50% power), cover the team’s weaknesses, and respect the fourth generation’s physical/special split (see Physical or special?).
The levels shown are those of Platinum, identical or very close in Diamond and Pearl. Forgotten moves can be relearned from the Move Reminder in Pastoria City, in exchange for a Heart Scale.
