Verdict

Collector's Pick
Dubwool is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 159/198/176 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,478. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Dubwool 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 Dubwool in Pokemon GO?
Dubwool has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Dubwool 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 Dubwool's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Dubwool is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Dubwool resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Dubwool 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 Dubwool's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Dubwool's maximum CP is 2,478 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,191 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. Dubwool's CP is calculated from its base stats: 159 Attack, 198 Defense, and 176 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 Dubwool caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,252 CP, or 1,565 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Dubwool?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Dubwool has the following CP at key levels: 939 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,252 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,565 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,478 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Dubwool, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Dubwool 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 Dubwool in Pokemon GO?
Dubwool is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Wooloo with 50 Candy). Dubwool can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Dubwool be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Dubwool'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 Dubwool availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
