PvP - Charging up the charged attack

So, I'm trying to figure out the charging.

First, I just tapped in the circle to charge it up. That worked OK. Then I tried tapping with two fingers, so I could tap faster, but that didn't work as well. In my last few battles, I tapped like crazy with one finger, and saw my pokemon's icon get big, then bigger, then back to big. Did I tap too much? Is there a sweet spot, or should I keep tapping like crazy.

Any insight appreciated. Frustrating when it's down to Venusaur vs. Venusaur, I have Frenzy Plant, foe has Petal Blizzard, we both start almost full HP and no shields, and I lose.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing as too much tapping in my experience. I've found the two finger tap (alternating between fingers) or using twitch muscles to tap the screen at a rapidly fast pace both work well for charging up moves.

Fast and constant is needed to get a full charge. Tapping inside the circle is not necessary. I can tap fastest using my wrist and index finger to get to the max of 3 rings.

What rings are you talking about? Is there an online tutorial with pictures?

As you charge up the attack there is a ring that grows out from the attack button. As it gets bigger it will turn into two and three rings

I’m not a fan of the tapping. I wish instead that they used the pokeball throwing mechanic. Essentially, the smaller circle you hit, the more damage done.

I believe it is more dependent on where the tap is at the end of the timer, and I think you can actually get tired even tho it is only 4 seconds.
I have heard people have had success "finger tapping" with 4 fingers. I have had mixed results with that method. I have had much better results with a 2 finger tap. My index and middle finger hitting at slightly different times. Keep your fingers close to the screen. The motion seems closer to a rub than a tap. Not to be graphic, but when I was showing an explaining it to my wife, she smirked because it was like I was explaining how to rub a woman, if you know what I mean...

As soon as you hit the button, brace your phone as best you can and then tap like crazy with your index finger in the center of the circle. Wait for it to zoom in. Tada.

Yes, all my PvP Venusaurs have Vine Whip. Razor leaf does a bit more damage, but generates energy much less quickly, and it's all about getting Frenzy Plant off over and over.
