How to Address the Issue of ‘Use 5 Charged Attacks’ Not Tracking in Pokemon GO

In order for your ‘Use 5 Charged Attacks’ Research Task to track, you’ll need to actually use 5 Supereffective Charged Attacks in Pokemon GO.

It appears that the term ‘Supereffective’ was inadvertently omitted from the Research Task text, resulting in a significant amount of confusion.

Understanding Charged Attacks in Pokemon GO

Charged Attacks are the more powerful moves that Pokemon can use during battles in Pokemon GO.

To execute a Charged Attack in battle, players must tap the screen repeatedly to perform Fast Attacks. Then, once the Charged Attack icon is fully charged at the bottom of the screen, tap it and follow the on-screen instructions to maximize the power of your attack.

The specific instructions will vary depending on the type of Charged Attack, but they all involve tracking certain icons on the screen to enhance the effectiveness of your attack.

A Supereffective Charged Attack requires strategic thinking, as it involves using a Pokemon with a move that is strong against the opponent’s Pokemon.

Fortunately, you can complete the ‘Use 5 Charged Attacks’ Research Task by participating in both the GO Battle League and Team GO Rocket battles.

We recommend taking on GO Rocket Grunts whenever possible, as they are easier to counter since they provide hints about their team’s typing before the battle.
