Ambipom has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (205), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Ambipom deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Ambipom in Pokemon GO?
Ambipom's best moveset is Scratch (fast) with Hyper Beam (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Ambipom's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Ambipom takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Ambipom's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Ambipom reaches 2,733 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,418 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Ambipom?
A perfect 15/15/15 Ambipom shows 1,381 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,727 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Ambipom better than regular Ambipom?
Shadow Ambipom deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Ambipom in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Aipom (100 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Ambipom be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Ambipom depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
