Cryogonal (#615) is a Ice-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,201 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Cryogonal is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Cryogonal in 2026.
Cryogonal's Attack stat is 190 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Cryogonal to contribute meaningful damage.
With 218 Defense (Excellent) and 190 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 598. This gives Cryogonal reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Ice-type Pokémon, Cryogonal's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Cryogonal depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Ice Shard (Fast) with Aurora Beam (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. Cryogonal has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Cryogonal 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 Ice typing provides useful matchups against Ice-type threats while being weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock types.
In Master League, Cryogonal faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Cryogonal appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Fire, Fighting, Rock-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it.
