Lillipup (#506) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,047 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Lillipup has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Lillipup in 2026.
Lillipup's Attack stat is 107 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Lillipup may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 86 Defense (Below Average) and 128 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 321. Trainers should be mindful of Lillipup's limited bulk. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Lillipup's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Lillipup depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Tackle (Fast) with Thunderbolt (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. Lillipup has 3 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Lillipup 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 Master League, Lillipup faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Lillipup's effectiveness depends on its typing and 107 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Lillipup use Fighting-type moves.
Lillipup 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.
Lillipup is part of a 3-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.
Shiny Lillipup is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
Lillipup gets a weather boost in Partly Cloudy weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (600 - 654 CP). The buddy distance is 1km per candy. Very efficient for candy farming.
