How to Change the Second Attack in Pokémon Go

▶

To change the second attack in Pokémon Go, you can use a Charged TM to randomly change the Charged Attack to one that the Pokémon can learn, or an Elite Charged TM to select a specific attack from the Pokémon’s available moves, and you can also teach your Pokémon a new Charged Attack by exchanging Stardust and Candy through the ‘New Attack’ button on the Pokémon’s summary page. The New Attack feature allows you to add a second Charged Attack to your Pokémon, giving you more strategy options in battles, including Raids, Gyms, and Trainer Battles.
