Milotic (#350) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,438 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Milotic is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Milotic in 2026.
Milotic's Attack stat is 192 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Milotic to contribute meaningful damage.
With 219 Defense (Excellent) and 216 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 627. This excellent bulk makes Milotic very tanky in both PvP and raids. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Milotic's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Milotic depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Waterfall (Fast) with Surf (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. Milotic has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Milotic 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 Water typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Ice-type threats while being weak to Electric, Grass types.
In Master League, Milotic faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Milotic appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Electric, Grass-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it. After the raid, catch Milotic at Level 20 (1,640 - 1,717 CP) or Level 25 with weather boost (2,050 - 2,147 CP). A 100% IV (hundo) will have exactly 1,717 CP.
Milotic 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 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Milotic 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.
