Helioptile (#694) is a Electric/Normal-type Pokémon from the Kalos region (Generation 6) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,067 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Helioptile has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Helioptile in 2026.
Helioptile's Attack stat is 115 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Helioptile may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 78 Defense (Below Average) and 127 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 320. Trainers should be mindful of Helioptile's limited bulk. Compared to other Electric-type Pokémon, Helioptile's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Helioptile depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Quick Attack (Fast) with Parabolic Charge (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. Helioptile has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Helioptile 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/Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost, Electric, Flying-type threats while being weak to Ground, Fighting types.
In Master League, Helioptile faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Helioptile's effectiveness depends on its typing and 115 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Helioptile use Ground, Fighting-type moves.
Helioptile 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.
Helioptile 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.
