- Bulk-leaning spread (109 Defense / 172 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Flaaffy deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Flaaffy in Pokemon GO?
Flaaffy's best moveset is Tackle (fast) with Trailblaze (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Flaaffy's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Flaaffy takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Flaaffy's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Flaaffy reaches 1,720 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,521 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 Flaaffy?
A perfect 15/15/15 Flaaffy shows 869 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,086 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 Flaaffy better than regular Flaaffy?
Shadow Flaaffy 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.

Evolve it from Mareep (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Flaaffy be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Flaaffy 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.
