Seedot (#273) is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 684 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Seedot has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Seedot in 2026.
Seedot's Attack stat is 71 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Seedot may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 77 Defense (Below Average) and 120 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 268. Trainers should be mindful of Seedot's limited bulk. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Seedot's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Seedot depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bullet Seed (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. Seedot has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Seedot 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, Seedot faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Seedot's effectiveness depends on its typing and 71 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Seedot use Fire, Ice-type moves.
Seedot 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.

Shadow Seedot is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Seedot's effective Attack becomes ~85. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
