How Razor Leaf performs in Pokémon GO PvP

Fast moves run on a turn clock — Razor Leaf takes 2 turns to execute. It deals 9 damage and generates 4 energy each cycle, putting it at 4.5 damage per turn and 2.00 energy per turn. Higher DPT means more chip damage between charged moves; higher EPT means faster charged-move loading.

Razor Leaf is damage-heavy — it chips defenders down even before the first charged move fires. Pair with cheap charged moves for steady pressure.
