Verdict

Collector's Pick
Drizzile is a Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 186/113/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,142. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Drizzile 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 Drizzile in Pokemon GO?
Drizzile has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Drizzile 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 Drizzile's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Drizzile is weak to Electric, Grass-type moves. On the other hand, Drizzile resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Drizzile 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 Drizzile's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Drizzile's maximum CP is 2,142 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,894 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. Drizzile's CP is calculated from its base stats: 186 Attack, 113 Defense, and 163 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 Drizzile caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,082 CP, or 1,353 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Drizzile?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Drizzile has the following CP at key levels: 812 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,082 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,353 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,142 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Drizzile, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Drizzile 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 Drizzile in Pokemon GO?
Drizzile is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Sobble with 25 Candy). Drizzile can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Drizzile be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Drizzile'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 Drizzile availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
