Nuzleaf 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.

  • Bulk-leaning spread (78 Defense / 172 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
  • 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 Nuzleaf deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Fog weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Nuzleaf in Pokemon GO?

Nuzleaf's best moveset is Razor Leaf (fast) with Grass Knot (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

What are Nuzleaf's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Nuzleaf takes super effective damage from Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ice, Poison-type moves. It is double weak to Bug (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Psychic, Dark, Electric, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Water, so avoid those types against it.

What is Nuzleaf's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Nuzleaf reaches 1,387 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,227 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

What CP is a 100% IV Nuzleaf?

A perfect 15/15/15 Nuzleaf shows 701 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 876 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.

Is Shadow Nuzleaf better than regular Nuzleaf?

Shadow Nuzleaf deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.

How do you get Nuzleaf in Pokemon GO?

Evolve it from Seedot (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.

Can Nuzleaf be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Nuzleaf depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
