Naganadel is a Poison/Dragon-type Pokemon with a stat total of 599. With its high Attack stat (263), Naganadel is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Watch out for Dragon, Ground, Ice, Psychic-type moves when using Naganadel. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Naganadel's performance.

Naganadel's moves get a damage boost in Cloudy and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 100,000 Stardust and 100 Candy. With 5 charged moves available, a second move gives Naganadel much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Situational
Naganadel is a solid but not elite Poison-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#9) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,587 and base stats of 263/159/177, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Poison-type counters. The best moveset is Poison Jab paired with Sludge Bomb. Consider investing if you need a Poison-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Naganadel in Pokemon GO?
Naganadel's best moveset is Poison Jab (fast) and Sludge Bomb (charged), providing 15.6 DPS as a Poison-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Naganadel's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Naganadel is weak to Dragon, Ground, Ice, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Naganadel resists Grass, Bug, Electric, Fighting, Fire, Poison, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Naganadel 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 Naganadel's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Naganadel's maximum CP is 3,587 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,173 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. Naganadel's CP is calculated from its base stats: 263 Attack, 159 Defense, and 177 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 Naganadel caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,813 CP, or 2,266 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Naganadel?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Naganadel has the following CP at key levels: 1,360 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,813 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,266 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 3,587 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Naganadel, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Naganadel 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 Naganadel in Pokemon GO?
Naganadel is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Poipole with 200 Candy). Naganadel can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Naganadel be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Naganadel'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 Naganadel availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
