Verdict

Collector's Pick
Arrokuda is a Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 118/72/121 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,021. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Arrokuda may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Arrokuda in Pokemon GO?
Arrokuda has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Arrokuda for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Arrokuda's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Arrokuda is weak to Electric, Grass-type moves. On the other hand, Arrokuda resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Arrokuda effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Arrokuda's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Arrokuda's maximum CP is 1,021 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 903 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Arrokuda's CP is calculated from its base stats: 118 Attack, 72 Defense, and 121 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Arrokuda caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 516 CP, or 645 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Arrokuda?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Arrokuda has the following CP at key levels: 387 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 516 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 645 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,021 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Arrokuda, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Arrokuda ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Arrokuda in Pokemon GO?
Arrokuda can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Arrokuda can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Arrokuda be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Arrokuda's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Arrokuda availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
