Pokemon GO developers keep adding new monsters, constantly changing the game's meta. The recent Ultra Unlock: Paldea event offers new Paldean Pokemon that players can collect with several in-game content. One of the recent additions to the game is the Bug-type Pokemon Nymble. The Gen 9 Paldean Pokemon and its evolution Lokix have promising PvP and PvE capabilities.
Pokemon GO features Nymble as a wild spawn during the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event. After catching Nymble, one must stock up on Candy and evolve it to Lokix. The evolution process costs 50 Candy. Adding a new Pokemon to the battle roster can be difficult and requires extreme meta-knowledge. Nymble and Lokix have some of the best moveset for their respective power levels. This guide explores the best PvE and PvP movesets for both pocket monsters.
