Is Phanpy good in Pokemon GO?

Collector's pick

Phanpy 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 (98 Defense / 207 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 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Shadow Phanpy deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather — worth timing raids around.

A perfect 15/15/15 Phanpy shows 689 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 862 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.
