Petilil (#548) is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,178 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Petilil has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Petilil in 2026.
Petilil's Attack stat is 119 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Petilil may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 91 Defense (Below Average) and 128 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 338. Trainers should be mindful of Petilil's limited bulk. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Petilil's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Petilil depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Charm (Fast) with Energy Ball (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. Petilil has 2 Fast Attacks and 2 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Petilil 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 typing provides useful matchups against Water, Electric, Grass-type threats while being weak to Fire, Ice, Poison types.
In Master League, Petilil faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Petilil's effectiveness depends on its typing and 119 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Petilil use Fire, Ice-type moves.
Petilil 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 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Petilil 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.
