PLACE IN THE META: Haxorus is shaping up to be one of the better Dragon-type Pokémon in GO. Its phenomenal Attack stat is higher than Dragonite, Garchomp, and Salamence's and equal to Rayquaza's. As a caveat, it does have lower defenses than the other top Dragon-types. With that said, Haxorus doesn't need as much defenses since it doesn't have a four-times weakness to Ice like the aforementioned Dragons.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Haxorus:

• Dragon Tail
• Poison Jab

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Haxorus:

• Brick Break
• Draco Meteor
• Dragon Claw
• ​Dragon Pulse
• Outrage

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Haxorus' movepool:

• Dual Chop
• Giga Impact
• Guillotine
• Superpower

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Haxorus gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Beartic line is up next.
