Kecleon (#352) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,341 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Kecleon can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Kecleon in 2026.
Kecleon's Attack stat is 161 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Kecleon to contribute meaningful damage.
With 189 Defense (Excellent) and 155 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 505. This gives Kecleon reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Kecleon's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Kecleon depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Lick (Fast) with Foul Play (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. Kecleon has 2 Fast Attacks and 6 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Kecleon 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, Kecleon reaches 2,047 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Kecleon faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Kecleon's effectiveness depends on its typing and 161 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Kecleon use Fighting-type moves.
Kecleon 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 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
