Stantler (#234) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Johto region (Generation 2) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,476 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Stantler can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Stantler in 2026.
Stantler's Attack stat is 192 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Stantler to contribute meaningful damage.
With 131 Defense (Average) and 177 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 500. This gives Stantler reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Stantler's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Stantler depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Tackle (Fast) with Stomp (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. Stantler has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Stantler 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 Ultra League, Stantler reaches 2,164 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Stantler faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Stantler's effectiveness depends on its typing and 192 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Stantler use Fighting-type moves.
Stantler 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 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Shadow Stantler is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Stantler's effective Attack becomes ~230. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
