Frogadier (#657) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Kalos region (Generation 6) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,872 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Frogadier has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Frogadier in 2026.
Frogadier's Attack stat is 168 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Frogadier to contribute meaningful damage.
With 114 Defense (Average) and 144 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 426. Trainers should be mindful of Frogadier's limited bulk. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Frogadier's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Frogadier depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Pound (Fast) with Water Pulse (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. Frogadier has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Frogadier 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, Frogadier faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Frogadier's effectiveness depends on its typing and 168 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Frogadier use Electric, Grass-type moves.
Frogadier 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.
