Verdict

Collector's Pick
Bellibolt is a Electric-type Pokemon with base stats of 184/165/240 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,010. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Bellibolt 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 Bellibolt in Pokemon GO?
Bellibolt has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Bellibolt 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 Bellibolt's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Bellibolt is weak to Ground-type moves. On the other hand, Bellibolt resists Electric, Flying, Steel-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Bellibolt 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 Bellibolt's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Bellibolt's maximum CP is 3,010 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,662 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. Bellibolt's CP is calculated from its base stats: 184 Attack, 165 Defense, and 240 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 Bellibolt caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,521 CP, or 1,902 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Bellibolt?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Bellibolt has the following CP at key levels: 1,141 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,521 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,902 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,010 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Bellibolt, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Bellibolt 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 Bellibolt in Pokemon GO?
Bellibolt is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Tadbulb with 50 Candy). Bellibolt can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Bellibolt be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Bellibolt'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 Bellibolt availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
