Gimmighoul 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 (140), 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.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog weather — worth timing raids around.
