Trainer Tips

Frogadier is a Water-type Pokemon with a stat total of 426. With its high Attack stat (168), Frogadier is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Electric, Grass-type moves when using Frogadier. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Frogadier's performance.

Frogadier's moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 10,000 Stardust and 25 Candy. With 3 charged moves available, a second move gives Frogadier much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Frogadier is a Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 168/114/144 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,850. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Frogadier 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 Frogadier 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.
