To solve this problem, we must transform the input array into either of the two zigzag patterns, and compute the **minimum number of moves** required to achieve that. A move is defined as **decreasing any element by 1**.

### Key Observations:
1. The zigzag pattern comes in two forms:
   - **Pattern A**: Even-indexed elements are greater than their adjacent elements.
   - **Pattern B**: Odd-indexed elements are greater than their adjacent elements.
2. For each position, we need to evaluate how many moves it would take to make the element larger or smaller to satisfy the zigzag rule for either pattern.
3. We need to compute the **minimum moves** required **for both patterns** and return the **lower of the two values**.

### Approach:
- For **Pattern A**, only even-indexed elements must be **greater than their neighbors**.
- For **Pattern B**, only **odd-indexed** elements must be **greater than their neighbors**.
- For both patterns, we need to **scan the array**, and for each **non-satisfying element**, calculate how many moves are required **to ensure the pattern** holds.

Let’s implement helper functions to:
- Compute the required moves for **Pattern A**.
- Compute the required moves for **Pattern B**.

### Code Implementation

The `movesToMakeZigzag` function will compute both scenarios and return the **minimum** of the two.

Here’s the full implementation:

```python
from typing import List

class Solution:
    def movesToMakeZigzag(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        def calculate_moves_for_pattern(start_index):
            """Computes moves to make the array follow the pattern starting at `start_index`. """
            moves = 0
            n = len(nums)
            for i in range(n):
                if (i % 2) != start_index:  # Skip positions not in the pattern
                    continue
                left = nums[i - 1] if i > 0 else 0
                right = nums[i + 1] if i < n - 1 else 0
                # Find the max of the neighbors and ensure current value is greater than both
                current = nums[i]
                max_neighbor = max(left, right)
                if current <= max_neighbor:
                    moves_needed = max_neighbor - current + 1
                    moves += moves_needed
                    # Decrease current to max_neighbor - 1 to satisfy the pattern
                    nums[i] -= moves_needed
            return moves

        # Compute moves for both patterns
        pattern_a_moves = calculate_moves_for_pattern(0)  # Even-indexed elements must be greater
        pattern_b_moves = calculate_moves_for_pattern(1)  # Odd-indexed elements must be greater

        # Return the minimum of both patterns
        return min(pattern_a_moves, pattern_b_moves)

    def run_tests(self):
        # Optional: This could be a placeholder for test execution
        print("Solution class initialized with `movesToMakeZigzag` function.")

# Run the class for testing purposes if needed
if __name__ == "__main__":
    sol = Solution()
    # Example test cases may be added here if required
