Gumshoos (#735) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Alola region (Generation 7) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,500 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Gumshoos can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Gumshoos in 2026.
Gumshoos's Attack stat is 194 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Gumshoos to contribute meaningful damage.
With 113 Defense (Average) and 204 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 511. This gives Gumshoos reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Gumshoos's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Gumshoos depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Take Down (Fast) with Hyper Fang (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. Gumshoos has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Gumshoos 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.
In Ultra League, Gumshoos reaches 2,185 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Gumshoos faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Gumshoos's effectiveness depends on its typing and 194 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Gumshoos use Fighting-type moves.
Gumshoos can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Partly Cloudy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Gumshoos 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.
