Gastrodon 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.
- Bulk-leaning spread (143 Defense / 244 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Gastrodon in Pokemon GO?
Gastrodon's best moveset is Mud Slap (fast) with Earthquake (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Gastrodon's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Gastrodon takes super effective damage from Grass-type moves. It is double weak to Grass (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Gastrodon's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Gastrodon reaches 2,628 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,324 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 Gastrodon?
A perfect 15/15/15 Gastrodon shows 1,328 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,660 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.
How do you get Gastrodon in Pokemon GO?
Gastrodon spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Gastrodon be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Gastrodon 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.
