Hoopa 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 (261), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 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 Fog and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Hoopa in Pokemon GO?
Hoopa's best moveset is Confusion (fast) with Shadow Ball (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Hoopa's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Hoopa takes super effective damage from Dark, Ghost-type moves. It is double weak to Dark, Ghost (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Fighting, Normal, Poison, Psychic, so avoid those types against it.
What is Hoopa's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Hoopa reaches 3,797 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 3,359 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 Hoopa?
A perfect 15/15/15 Hoopa shows 1,919 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,399 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 Hoopa in Pokemon GO?
Hoopa spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event.
Can Hoopa be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Hoopa 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.
