Is Natu good in Pokemon GO?

Lv 20 → 40 135,000 15

Natu has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

  • Attack is its highest stat (134), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
  • A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Shadow Natu deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
