Oddish (#043) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,405 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Oddish has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Oddish in 2026.
Oddish's Attack stat is 131 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Oddish may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 112 Defense (Average) and 128 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 371. Trainers should be mindful of Oddish's limited bulk. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Oddish's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Oddish depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Razor Leaf (Fast) with Seed Bomb (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. Oddish has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Oddish 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 Grass/Poison typing provides useful matchups against Grass, Water, Electric-type threats while being weak to Fire, Ice, Flying types.
In Master League, Oddish faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Oddish's effectiveness depends on its typing and 131 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Oddish use Fire, Ice-type moves.
Oddish can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Sunny/Clear weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Oddish is part of a 4-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.
Shadow Oddish is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Oddish's effective Attack becomes ~157. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
Shiny Oddish 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.
Oddish gets a weather boost in Sunny/Clear weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (816 - 877 CP). The buddy distance is 3km per candy. Use Poffins to halve the distance.
