Vullaby (#629) is a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,455 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Vullaby has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Vullaby in 2026.
Vullaby's Attack stat is 105 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Vullaby may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 139 Defense (Average) and 172 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 416. This gives Vullaby reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Dark-type Pokémon, Vullaby's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Vullaby depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Feint Attack (Fast) with Dark 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. Vullaby has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Vullaby 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 Dark/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Psychic, Ground, Ghost-type threats while being weak to Fairy, Electric, Ice types.
In Master League, Vullaby faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Vullaby's effectiveness depends on its typing and 105 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Vullaby use Fairy, Electric-type moves.
Vullaby can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Foggy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
