Sliggoo (#705) is a Dragon-type Pokémon from the Kalos region (Generation 6) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,330 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Sliggoo can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Sliggoo in 2026.
Sliggoo's Attack stat is 159 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Sliggoo may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 176 Defense (Good) and 169 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 504. This gives Sliggoo reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Dragon-type Pokémon, Sliggoo's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Sliggoo depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Water Gun (Fast) with Dragon Pulse (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. Sliggoo has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Sliggoo 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 Dragon typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Electric-type threats while being weak to Ice, Dragon, Fairy types.
In Ultra League, Sliggoo reaches 2,037 CP at Level 40. Its bulk allows it to survive key matchups.
In Master League, Sliggoo faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Sliggoo's effectiveness depends on its typing and 159 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Sliggoo use Ice, Dragon-type moves.
Sliggoo can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Windy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
