Verdict

Collector's Pick
Mudsdale is a Ground-type Pokemon with base stats of 214/174/225 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,443. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

What is Mudsdale's max CP in Pokemon GO?

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