Sentret (#161) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Johto region (Generation 2) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 707 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Sentret has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Sentret in 2026.
Sentret's Attack stat is 79 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Sentret may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 73 Defense (Below Average) and 111 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 263. Trainers should be mindful of Sentret's limited bulk. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Sentret's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Sentret depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Scratch (Fast) with Dig (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. Sentret has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Sentret 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 Normal typing provides useful matchups against Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fighting types.
In Master League, Sentret faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Sentret's effectiveness depends on its typing and 79 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Sentret use Fighting-type moves.
Sentret can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Partly Cloudy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Sentret 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.
Shiny Sentret 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.
Sentret gets a weather boost in Partly Cloudy weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (397 - 441 CP). The buddy distance is 1km per candy. Very efficient for candy farming.
