Verdict

Collector's Pick
Lileep is a Rock/Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 105/150/165 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,460. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Lileep 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.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Lileep deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Lileep in Pokemon GO?
Lileep has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Lileep 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 Lileep's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Lileep is weak to Bug, Fighting, Ice, Steel-type moves. On the other hand, Lileep resists Electric, Normal-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Lileep 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 Lileep's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Lileep's maximum CP is 1,460 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,291 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. Lileep's CP is calculated from its base stats: 105 Attack, 150 Defense, and 165 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 Lileep caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 738 CP, or 922 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Lileep?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Lileep has the following CP at key levels: 553 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 738 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 922 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,460 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Lileep, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Lileep 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.
Is Shadow Lileep better than regular?
Shadow Lileep deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Lileep is generally better due to the higher DPS output. For PvP, it depends on the matchup — the extra damage taken can be a significant drawback in extended battles where survivability matters. Shadow Lileep comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Lileep in Pokemon GO?
Lileep can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 1-Star Raids raid boss. Lileep can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Lileep be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Lileep's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Lileep availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
