Collector's Pick
Lechonk is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 81/79/144 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 828. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Lechonk in Pokemon GO?
Lechonk has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Lechonk 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 Lechonk's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Lechonk is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Lechonk resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Lechonk effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Lechonk's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Lechonk's maximum CP is 828 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 733 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. Lechonk's CP is calculated from its base stats: 81 Attack, 79 Defense, and 144 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Lechonk caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 418 CP, or 523 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Lechonk?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Lechonk has the following CP at key levels: 314 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 418 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 523 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 828 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Lechonk, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Lechonk 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.
How to get Lechonk in Pokemon GO?
Lechonk can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Lechonk can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
