Corphish (#341) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,408 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Corphish has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Corphish in 2026.
Corphish's Attack stat is 141 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Corphish may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 99 Defense (Below Average) and 125 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 365. Trainers should be mindful of Corphish's limited bulk. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Corphish's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Corphish depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bubble (Fast) with Vice Grip (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. Corphish has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Corphish 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 Water typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Ice-type threats while being weak to Electric, Grass types.
In Master League, Corphish faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Corphish's effectiveness depends on its typing and 141 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Corphish use Electric, Grass-type moves.
Corphish can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Corphish 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.
