Charjabug (#737) is a Bug/Electric-type Pokémon from the Alola region (Generation 7) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,942 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Charjabug has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Charjabug in 2026.
Charjabug's Attack stat is 145 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Charjabug may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 161 Defense (Good) and 149 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 455. This gives Charjabug reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Bug-type Pokémon, Charjabug's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Charjabug depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bug Bite (Fast) with X Scissor (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. Charjabug has 3 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Charjabug has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.

In Master League, Charjabug faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
