Verdict

Collector's Pick
Avalugg is a Ice-type Pokemon with base stats of 196/240/216 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,615. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Avalugg 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 Avalugg in Pokemon GO?
Avalugg has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Avalugg 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 Avalugg's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Avalugg is weak to Fighting, Fire, Rock, Steel-type moves. On the other hand, Avalugg resists Ice-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Avalugg 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 Avalugg's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Avalugg's maximum CP is 3,615 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,198 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. Avalugg's CP is calculated from its base stats: 196 Attack, 240 Defense, and 216 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 Avalugg caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,827 CP, or 2,284 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Avalugg?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Avalugg has the following CP at key levels: 1,370 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,827 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,284 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,615 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Avalugg, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Avalugg 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 Avalugg in Pokemon GO?
Avalugg is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Bergmite with 50 Candy). Avalugg can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Avalugg be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Avalugg'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 Avalugg availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
