Verdict

Collector's Pick
Greedent is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 160/156/260 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,679. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Greedent 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Greedent in Pokemon GO?
Greedent has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Greedent for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Greedent's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Greedent is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Greedent resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Greedent effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Greedent's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Greedent's maximum CP is 2,679 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,370 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Greedent's CP is calculated from its base stats: 160 Attack, 156 Defense, and 260 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Greedent caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,354 CP, or 1,693 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Greedent?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Greedent has the following CP at key levels: 1,015 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,354 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,693 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,679 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Greedent, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Greedent ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Greedent in Pokemon GO?
Greedent is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Skwovet with 50 Candy). Greedent can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Greedent be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Greedent's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Greedent availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
