Collector's Pick
Frosmoth is a Ice/Bug-type Pokemon with base stats of 230/155/172 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,084. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Frosmoth 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.
