Trainer Tips

Milotic is a Water-type Pokemon with a stat total of 627. With its bulk spread of 219 Defense and 216 Stamina, Milotic has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Electric, Grass-type moves when using Milotic. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Milotic's performance.

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

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Milotic is a Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 192/219/216 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,398. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Milotic 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 Milotic 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.
