Verdict

Collector's Pick
Fletchling is a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 95/80/128 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 905. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Fletchling 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 Fletchling 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 Fletchling in Pokemon GO?
Fletchling has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Fletchling 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 Fletchling's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Fletchling is weak to Electric, Ice, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Fletchling resists Ghost, Ground, Bug, Grass-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Fletchling 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 Fletchling's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Fletchling's maximum CP is 905 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 800 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. Fletchling's CP is calculated from its base stats: 95 Attack, 80 Defense, and 128 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 Fletchling caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 457 CP, or 571 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Fletchling?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Fletchling has the following CP at key levels: 343 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 457 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 571 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 905 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Fletchling, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Fletchling 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 Fletchling better than regular?
Shadow Fletchling deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Fletchling 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 Fletchling comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Fletchling in Pokemon GO?
Fletchling can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Fletchling can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Fletchling be shiny in Pokemon GO?
