Phantump and Trevenant are two of only sixGrass/Ghost-type Pokemonin the franchise, giving them a rather unique range of resistances and weaknesses.

When it comes to particular moves, Trevenant’s most powerful set in most weather conditions isthe combination of Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball.As both of these moves are Ghost-Type, they’ll particularly shine against anyPokemon that is weak to Ghost moves, but perform poorly against any that resists them.
Trevenant’s Best Movesets When Grass Is Boosted
InSunny and Clear conditions, the boost to Grass-types will unseat the Shadow Claw/Ball combo as Trevenant’s most powerful moveset.For these specific weather types, it’s the combination of Shadow Claw and Seed Bomb that boasts the highest DPS. As both of these moves match with Trevenant’s type, they gain a 20% damage bonus. In addition,having two types of damage will enable Trevenant to tackle a larger range of targets..
In addition to being superior in Sunny and Clear conditions, the Shadow Claw/Seed Bomb moveset is also thebest for Gym defense. Pokemon that have been placed todefendPokemon GOGymsuse their moves differently, meaning that Seed Bomb’s faster cooldown gives it the edge over Shadow Ball even when the sun isn’t shining.
