Aipom (#190) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Johto region (Generation 2) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,542 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Aipom has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Aipom in 2026.
Aipom's Attack stat is 136 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Aipom may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 112 Defense (Average) and 146 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 394. Trainers should be mindful of Aipom's limited bulk. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Aipom's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Aipom depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Scratch (Fast) with Low Sweep (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Aipom has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Aipom can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fighting types.
In Master League, Aipom faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Aipom's effectiveness depends on its typing and 136 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Aipom use Fighting-type moves.
Aipom can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Partly Cloudy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Aipom is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
Shadow Aipom is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Aipom's effective Attack becomes ~163. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
Shiny Aipom is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
Aipom gets a weather boost in Partly Cloudy weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (898 - 963 CP). The buddy distance is 3km per candy. Use Poffins to halve the distance.
Q: What is Aipom's max CP?
A: 1,529 CP at Level 50, or 1,348 CP at Level 40.
Q: Is Aipom good?
A: Useful in Great League PvP with the right setup.
