The best moveset for Alolan Sandslash in Pokemon Go is Powder Snow as the Fast Move, and Ice Punch & Drill Run as the Charged Moves.
Powder Snow doesn’t have the highest DPS among the Fast Moves Alolan Sandslash can learn. However, its STAB bonus, coupled with an 8.0 EPS, makes it the best Fast Move to use.
As for the Charged Moves, Ice Punch is a clear choice given its low cost and STAB bonus. Drill Run, on the other hand, doesn’t offer the STAB bonus since this version of Sandslash isn’t a Ground-type.
But, it does do a good amount of damage given its cost.
