With 82 Defense (Below Average) and 135 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 326. Trainers should be mindful of Glameow's limited bulk. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Glameow's stat distribution is balanced.

⚔️ Best Glameow Moveset in Pokémon GO

The best moveset for Glameow depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Scratch (Fast) with Play Rough (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. Glameow has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.

Great League (1500 CP)

In Great League, Glameow 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 Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fighting types.

Master League

In Master League, Glameow faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.

💪 Glameow Raid Guide & Counters

As a raid attacker, Glameow's effectiveness depends on its typing and 109 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Glameow use Fighting-type moves.
