Corphish 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.
- Attack is its highest stat (141), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Corphish deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

Corphish's best moveset is Rock Smash (fast) with Razor Shell (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Corphish's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

A perfect 15/15/15 Corphish shows 703 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 879 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.
