Verdict

Collector's Pick
Mismagius is a Ghost-type Pokemon with base stats of 211/187/155 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,957. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Mismagius 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.
