Pokemon Go API – Fast Move API

This post talks about the newest Pokemon Go API, the Fast Move API at pogoapi.net.

Fast moves in Pokemon Go

In Pokemon Go there are two different types of moves, fast moves and charged moves. Fast moves require no time to charge the special bar and will be performed each time you tap the screen.

These moves are the weaker of the two and depending on the move may be less important when fighting bosses. These moves will also help charge the special bar to allow you to use the charged moves.

This API will give the full details of the fast move such as the power of the move and how long it takes to perform.

Getting the Fast move details

This API lists all details about the Fast moves available in Pokemon Go.
