Is Overqwil good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Overqwil is a Tier A Poison-type attacker at rank #8, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.
- Attack is its highest stat (222), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Overqwil deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog and Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
