Cubchoo (#613) is a Ice-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,223 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Cubchoo has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Cubchoo in 2026.
Cubchoo's Attack stat is 128 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Cubchoo may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 74 Defense (Below Average) and 146 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 348. Trainers should be mindful of Cubchoo's limited bulk. Compared to other Ice-type Pokémon, Cubchoo's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Cubchoo depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Powder Snow (Fast) with Ice Punch (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. Cubchoo has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Cubchoo 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, Cubchoo faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Cubchoo's effectiveness depends on its typing and 128 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Cubchoo use Fire, Fighting-type moves.
Cubchoo can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Snow weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Cubchoo 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.
