Pyroar (#668) is a Fire/Normal-type Pokémon from the Kalos region (Generation 6) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 3,166 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Pyroar is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Pyroar in 2026.
Pyroar's Attack stat is 221 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Pyroar a strong damage dealer.
With 149 Defense (Good) and 200 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 570. This gives Pyroar reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Fire-type Pokémon, Pyroar's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Pyroar depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Fire Fang (Fast) with Flame Charge (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. Pyroar has 4 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Pyroar 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 Fire/Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost, Fire, Grass-type threats while being weak to Water, Ground, Rock types.
In Master League, Pyroar faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
Pyroar appears as a high-tier Raid Boss. Focus on Water, Ground, Rock-type counters for maximum damage. With strong counters, 2-3 trainers can defeat it. After the raid, catch Pyroar at Level 20 (1,506 - 1,581 CP) or Level 25 with weather boost (1,883 - 1,977 CP). A 100% IV (hundo) will have exactly 1,581 CP.
Pyroar 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.
Pyroar 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.
