Watch out for Rock, Steel, Water-type moves when using Dwebble. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Dwebble's performance.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Dwebble is a Bug/Rock-type Pokemon with base stats of 118/128/137 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,384. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Dwebble 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.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Dwebble deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Dwebble in Pokemon GO?
Dwebble has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Dwebble 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 Dwebble's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Dwebble is weak to Rock, Steel, Water-type moves. On the other hand, Dwebble resists Normal, Poison-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Dwebble 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 Dwebble's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Dwebble's maximum CP is 1,384 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,224 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. Dwebble's CP is calculated from its base stats: 118 Attack, 128 Defense, and 137 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 Dwebble caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 699 CP, or 874 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Dwebble?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Dwebble has the following CP at key levels: 524 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 699 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 874 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,384 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Dwebble, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Dwebble 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.
Is Shadow Dwebble better than regular?
Shadow Dwebble deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Dwebble is generally better due to the higher DPS output. For PvP, it depends on the matchup — the extra damage taken can be a significant drawback in extended battles where survivability matters. Shadow Dwebble comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Dwebble in Pokemon GO?
Dwebble can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 1-Star Raids raid boss. Dwebble can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
