Pangoro does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier A spot at #29 in Ultra League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.
- Attack is its highest stat (226), 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 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog and Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

Pangoro is ranked #37 (Tier A) in Great League with a 64.04% win rate. Pangoro is ranked #29 (Tier A) in Ultra League with a 67.68% win rate.
In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Ultra League is 0/15/14 rather than a hundo.
Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Pangoro bait shields instead of committing to one attack.

A perfect 15/15/15 Pangoro shows 1,658 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,073 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.
