Gligar 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 (184 Defense / 163 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Gligar deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Gligar in Pokemon GO?
Gligar's best moveset is Wing Attack (fast) with Night Slash (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Gligar's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Gligar takes super effective damage from Ice, Water-type moves. It is double weak to Ice (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Ground, Bug, Electric, Fighting, Poison, so avoid those types against it.
What is Gligar's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Gligar reaches 2,099 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,857 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 Gligar?
A perfect 15/15/15 Gligar shows 1,061 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,326 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 Gligar better than regular Gligar?
Shadow Gligar deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Gligar in Pokemon GO?
Gligar spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It is currently a 3-Star Raids raid boss. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Gligar be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Gligar 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.
