Is Chingling good in Pokemon GO?

Collector's pick
Power upStardustCandyXL Candy
Lv 20 → 40 135,000 15

Chingling 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.

  • Bulk-leaning spread (94 Defense / 128 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
  • A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
