- Bulk-leaning spread (73 Defense / 128 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Patrat deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Patrat in Pokemon GO?
Patrat's best moveset is Bite (fast) with Grass Knot (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Patrat's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Patrat takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Patrat's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Patrat reaches 895 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 791 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 Patrat?
A perfect 15/15/15 Patrat shows 452 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 565 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 Patrat better than regular Patrat?
Shadow Patrat 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 Patrat in Pokemon GO?
Patrat spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Patrat be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Patrat 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.
