FAQ
What is the best moveset for Bunnelby in Pokemon GO?
Bunnelby's best moveset is Mud Slap (fast) with Earthquake (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Bunnelby's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Bunnelby takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Bunnelby's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Bunnelby reaches 625 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 553 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 Bunnelby?
A perfect 15/15/15 Bunnelby shows 316 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 395 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 Bunnelby better than regular Bunnelby?
Shadow Bunnelby 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 Bunnelby in Pokemon GO?
Bunnelby spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Bunnelby be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Bunnelby 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.
