Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Dudunsparce in Pokemon GO?
Dudunsparce has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Dudunsparce 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 Dudunsparce's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Dudunsparce is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Dudunsparce resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Dudunsparce 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 Dudunsparce's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Dudunsparce's maximum CP is 3,097 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,739 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. Dudunsparce's CP is calculated from its base stats: 188 Attack, 150 Defense, and 268 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

What CP is a 100% IV Dudunsparce?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Dudunsparce has the following CP at key levels: 1,174 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,565 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,957 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,097 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Dudunsparce, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Dudunsparce 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.
