How Liquidation performs in Pokémon GO PvP
Charged moves cost energy to fire. Liquidation costs 45 energy and deals 70 damage, giving it a damage-per-energy of 1.56. Higher DPE = more bang per charged-move cycle, which compounds across long matches. This move also triggers a buff effect (see card on left) with a 30% activation chance.
Liquidation's DPE is mid-pack but the buff effect (see left) is the real value — best used as a bait move that opens damage windows on follow-up.
