Wiglett (#960) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Paldea region (Generation 9) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 656 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Wiglett has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Wiglett in 2026.
Wiglett's Attack stat is 109 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Wiglett may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 52 Defense (Below Average) and 67 Stamina (Below Average), the total stat product is 228. Trainers should be mindful of Wiglett's limited bulk. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Wiglett's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Wiglett depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Water Gun (Fast) with Liquidation (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. Wiglett has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Wiglett 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 Water typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Ice-type threats while being weak to Electric, Grass types.
In Master League, Wiglett faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Wiglett's effectiveness depends on its typing and 109 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Wiglett use Electric, Grass-type moves.
Wiglett can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Wiglett is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
