On August 19th, Niantic changed the Movesets of 18 different Pokémon. While some were minor changes, others were pretty significant.
Overall the Pokémon that benefited most from this recent update was Chansey. Originally, Chansey had the Charge Move Psybeam. Being a Normal Type Pokémon, meant that Chansey's Psybeam did not benefit from STAB (Same type attack bonus). However, with the recent change, Chansey now has the capability of using Hyper Beam, a Normal Type Move, which does benefit from STAB. Not only that, Hyper Beam now does almost 20 more DPS than that of the original move Psybeam.
