Emolga (#587) is a Electric/Flying-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,869 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Emolga has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Emolga in 2026.
Emolga's Attack stat is 158 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Emolga may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 127 Defense (Average) and 146 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 431. Trainers should be mindful of Emolga's limited bulk. Compared to other Electric-type Pokémon, Emolga's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Emolga depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Thunder Shock (Fast) with Discharge (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. Emolga has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Emolga 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 Electric/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Ground, Flying, Steel-type threats while being weak to Ice, Rock types.
In Master League, Emolga faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Emolga's effectiveness depends on its typing and 158 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Emolga use Ice, Rock-type moves.
Emolga 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 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Shiny Emolga is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
