FAQ
What is the best moveset for Ducklett in Pokemon GO?
Ducklett's best moveset is Water Gun (fast) with Brave Bird (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Ducklett's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

A perfect 15/15/15 Ducklett shows 489 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 612 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.
