Giratina review on Gamepress

The review states that Shadow Claw/Dragon Claw is A and Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw is B. In practice, this is simply not true.

Both Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw should be A, since Giratina's only purpose is to sweep gyms out of weaker Pokemon, it has no purpose in raids whatsoever, where Shadow Claw would be used, and most Gym defenders are weak to Dragonbreath and/or resistant to Shadow Claw.

Its review is correct. Because Shadow Claw does more DPS than dragon breath.

Giratina has no purpose at sweeping out gyms either (Latios does that job far better) so that's not a factor.

It's a useless pokemon, so they've simply rated the moves based on their DPS.

But if you really like Giratina and want to find a use for it, gym sweeping is probably the most realistic one. Since the low DPS doesn't matter much there anyway.
