Chingling (#433) is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region (Generation 4) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,150 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Chingling has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Chingling in 2026.
Chingling's Attack stat is 114 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Chingling may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 94 Defense (Below Average) and 128 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 336. Trainers should be mindful of Chingling's limited bulk. Compared to other Psychic-type Pokémon, Chingling's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Chingling depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Zen Headbutt (Fast) with Wrap (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. Chingling has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Chingling 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 Psychic typing provides useful matchups against Fighting, Psychic-type threats while being weak to Bug, Ghost, Dark types.
In Master League, Chingling faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Chingling's effectiveness depends on its typing and 114 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Chingling use Bug, Ghost-type moves.
Chingling can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Windy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Chingling 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.
