Trainer Tips

Jynx is a Ice/Psychic-type Pokemon with a stat total of 537. With its high Attack stat (223), Jynx is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Bug, Dark, Fire, Ghost, Rock, Steel-type moves when using Jynx. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Jynx's performance.

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

Unlocking a second charged move costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy. With 5 charged moves available, a second move gives Jynx much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Jynx is a Ice/Psychic-type Pokemon with base stats of 223/151/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,888. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Jynx 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.
