Anorith 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 (176), 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 Anorith deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Anorith in Pokemon GO?
Anorith's best moveset is Scratch (fast) with Cross Poison (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Anorith's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Anorith takes super effective damage from Rock, Steel, Water-type moves. It resists Normal, Poison, so avoid those types against it.
What is Anorith's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Anorith reaches 1,729 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,529 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 Anorith?
A perfect 15/15/15 Anorith shows 874 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,092 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 Anorith better than regular Anorith?
Shadow Anorith 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 Anorith in Pokemon GO?
Anorith spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It is currently a 1-Star Raids raid boss. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Anorith be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Anorith 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.
