Herdier 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 (126 Defense / 163 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Herdier in Pokemon GO?
Herdier's best moveset is Lick (fast) with Thunderbolt (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Herdier's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Herdier takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Herdier's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Herdier reaches 1,789 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,583 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 Herdier?
A perfect 15/15/15 Herdier shows 904 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,130 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 Herdier in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Lillipup (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Herdier be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Herdier 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.
