Ambipom (#424) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region (Generation 4) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,766 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Ambipom can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Ambipom in 2026.
Ambipom's Attack stat is 205 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Ambipom a strong damage dealer.
With 143 Defense (Good) and 181 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 529. This gives Ambipom reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Ambipom's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Ambipom 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. Ambipom has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Ambipom 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 Ultra League, Ambipom reaches 2,418 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Ambipom faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Ambipom's effectiveness depends on its typing and 205 Attack stat. It can deal solid damage as a Normal-type attacker. Best counters against Ambipom use Fighting-type moves.
Ambipom 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.
Ambipom 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 Ambipom is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Ambipom's effective Attack becomes ~246. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
