Treecko (#252) is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,204 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Treecko has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Treecko in 2026.
Treecko's Attack stat is 124 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Treecko may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 94 Defense (Below Average) and 120 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 338. Trainers should be mindful of Treecko's limited bulk. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Treecko's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Treecko depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Pound (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. Treecko has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Treecko 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, Treecko faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Treecko's effectiveness depends on its typing and 124 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Treecko use Fire, Ice-type moves.
Treecko 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.

Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
