With a maximum CP of 3,251 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Pheromosa is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Pheromosa in 2026.
Pheromosa's Attack stat is 316 (Elite). This is among the highest in the game, making Pheromosa an elite attacker for raids and gym battles.

The best moveset for Pheromosa depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bug Bite (Fast) with Focus Blast (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. Pheromosa has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Pheromosa 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 Bug/Fighting typing provides useful matchups against Fighting, Ground, Grass-type threats while being weak to Flying, Fire, Psychic types.
In Master League, Pheromosa faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
