How Hex performs in Pokémon GO PvP

Fast moves run on a turn clock — Hex takes 3 turns to execute. It deals 7 damage and generates 13 energy each cycle, putting it at 2.3 damage per turn and 4.33 energy per turn. Higher DPT means more chip damage between charged moves; higher EPT means faster charged-move loading.

Hex is energy-heavy — it racks up charged-move pressure fast. Pair with high-DPE close-out moves for shield-burn combos.
