Terapagos (#1024) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Paldea region (Generation 9) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,013 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Terapagos can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Terapagos in 2026.
Terapagos's Attack stat is 126 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Terapagos may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 165 Defense (Good) and 207 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 498. This gives Terapagos reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Terapagos's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Terapagos depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Take Down (Fast) with Struggle (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. Terapagos has 1 Fast Attacks and 1 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Terapagos 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, Terapagos faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Terapagos's effectiveness depends on its typing and 126 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Terapagos use Fighting-type moves.
Terapagos 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 20km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Shiny Terapagos is not yet available as of 2026. Niantic releases shinies during events, Community Days, or raid rotations. Check the events page for announcements.
Terapagos gets a weather boost in Partly Cloudy weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (1,182 - 1,257 CP). The buddy distance is 20km per candy. Rare Candy is the most efficient option for powering up.
