Zigzagoon (#263) is a Normal-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 581 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Zigzagoon has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Zigzagoon in 2026.
Zigzagoon's Attack stat is 58 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Zigzagoon may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 80 Defense (Below Average) and 116 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 254. Trainers should be mindful of Zigzagoon's limited bulk. Compared to other Normal-type Pokémon, Zigzagoon's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Zigzagoon depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Tackle (Fast) with Dig (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. Zigzagoon has 3 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Zigzagoon 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, Zigzagoon faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Zigzagoon's effectiveness depends on its typing and 58 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Zigzagoon use Fighting-type moves.
Zigzagoon 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 1km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Zigzagoon 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.
Shiny Zigzagoon is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
Zigzagoon gets a weather boost in Partly Cloudy weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (323 - 363 CP). The buddy distance is 1km per candy. Very efficient for candy farming.
