Palpitoad 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 (109 Defense / 181 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.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Palpitoad in Pokemon GO?
Palpitoad's best moveset is Bubble (fast) with Sludge Wave (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Palpitoad's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Palpitoad takes super effective damage from Grass-type moves. It is double weak to Grass (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Palpitoad's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Palpitoad reaches 1,574 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,392 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 Palpitoad?
A perfect 15/15/15 Palpitoad shows 795 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 994 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.
How do you get Palpitoad in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Tympole (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Palpitoad be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Palpitoad 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.
