Verdict

Collector's Pick
Klawf is a Rock-type Pokemon with base stats of 184/185/172 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,717. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

Klawf has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Klawf 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 Klawf's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Klawf is weak to Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, Water-type moves. On the other hand, Klawf resists Fire, Flying, Normal, Poison-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it.

What is Klawf's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Klawf's maximum CP is 2,717 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,403 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. Klawf's CP is calculated from its base stats: 184 Attack, 185 Defense, and 172 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

What CP is a 100% IV Klawf?

If you catch a perfect IV Klawf, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Klawf 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.
