Wimpod (#767) is a Bug/Water-type Pokémon from the Alola region (Generation 7) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 574 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Wimpod has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Wimpod in 2026.
Wimpod's Attack stat is 67 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Wimpod may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 74 Defense (Below Average) and 93 Stamina (Below Average), the total stat product is 234. Trainers should be mindful of Wimpod's limited bulk. Compared to other Bug-type Pokémon, Wimpod's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Wimpod depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Struggle Bug (Fast) with Bug Buzz (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. Wimpod has 1 Fast Attacks and 1 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Wimpod 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 Bug/Water typing provides useful matchups against Fighting, Ground, Water-type threats while being weak to Flying, Rock, Electric types.
In Master League, Wimpod faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Wimpod's effectiveness depends on its typing and 67 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Wimpod use Flying, Rock-type moves.
Wimpod 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 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Wimpod 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.
