Our recommendation for Kartana’s moveset is Razor Leaf (Fast) and Leaf Blade (Charged), which are both grass moves.

Despite its dual grass and steel typing, it doesn't have a steel move in its roster on debut - otherwise you can opt for Aerial Ace (flying) as a second move if you have the Candy and Stardust to spare.

Fast Moves:

Air Slash (Flying)Razor Leaf (Grass)

Charged Moves:

Everything else we know about Kartana

Kartana made its first appearance in Pokémon Go alongside Celesteela during Season of Light in September 2022 in the week of the Test Your Mettle event.

On debut, Kartana is only available in gyms in the Northern Hemisphere - meaning if it doesn't appear locally for you, you must receive a remote raid invite to battle and attempt to catch.

As part of Gen 7, Kartana debuted in Pokémon Sun and Moon where it could be encountered during the postgame of Sun.

According to the offical Pokédex entry, Kartana's body is "thin as paper" and "like a sharpened sword". You know what's more worrying? "Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives." Let's hope just the one gets through the Ultra Wormhole, then.

Good luck catching Kartana in Pokémon Go!
