Frogadier has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (168), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Frogadier 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 Frogadier in Pokemon GO?
Frogadier's best moveset is Pound (fast) with Surf (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Frogadier's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Frogadier takes super effective damage from Electric, Grass-type moves. It resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water, so avoid those types against it.
What is Frogadier's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Frogadier reaches 1,850 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,636 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

A perfect 15/15/15 Frogadier shows 935 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,169 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 Frogadier better than regular Frogadier?

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