Is Drowzee good in Pokemon GO?

Drowzee 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 (136 Defense / 155 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
  • A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Shadow Drowzee deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Drowzee in Pokemon GO?

Drowzee's best moveset is Confusion (fast) with Psychic (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

What are Drowzee's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Drowzee takes super effective damage from Bug, Dark, Ghost-type moves. It resists Fighting, Psychic, so avoid those types against it.

What is Drowzee's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Drowzee reaches 1,176 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,040 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 Drowzee?

A perfect 15/15/15 Drowzee shows 594 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 743 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 Drowzee better than regular Drowzee?

Shadow Drowzee 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 Drowzee in Pokemon GO?

Drowzee spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.

Can Drowzee be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Drowzee 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.
