Verdict

Collector's Pick
Dedenne is a Electric/Fairy-type Pokemon with base stats of 164/134/167 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,081. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Dedenne in Pokemon GO?
Dedenne has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Dedenne 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 Dedenne's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

What is Dedenne's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Dedenne's maximum CP is 2,081 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,841 at level 40.

Dedenne's CP is calculated from its base stats: 164 Attack, 134 Defense, and 167 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 Dedenne caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,051 CP, or 1,315 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Dedenne?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Dedenne has the following CP at key levels: 789 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,051 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,315 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,081 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Dedenne, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Dedenne 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 Dedenne in Pokemon GO?
Dedenne can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 1-Star Raids raid boss. Dedenne can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
