Verdict

Collector's Pick
Phantump is a Ghost/Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 125/103/125 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,270. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Phantump may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Phantump deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Phantump in Pokemon GO?
Phantump has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Phantump for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Phantump's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Phantump is weak to Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Ice-type moves. On the other hand, Phantump resists Fighting, Normal, Electric, Grass, Ground, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Phantump effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Phantump's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Phantump's maximum CP is 1,270 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,123 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Phantump's CP is calculated from its base stats: 125 Attack, 103 Defense, and 125 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Phantump caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 642 CP, or 802 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Phantump?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Phantump has the following CP at key levels: 481 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 642 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 802 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,270 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Phantump, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Phantump ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
Is Shadow Phantump better than regular?
Shadow Phantump deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Phantump is generally better due to the higher DPS output. For PvP, it depends on the matchup — the extra damage taken can be a significant drawback in extended battles where survivability matters. Shadow Phantump comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
