Huntail's moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candy. With 3 charged moves available, a second move gives Huntail much better coverage in PvP battles.

Huntail is a Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 197/179/146 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,645. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.
