Verdict

Collector's Pick
Probopass is a Rock/Steel-type Pokemon with base stats of 135/275/155 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,351. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Probopass 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 Probopass 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

Probopass has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Probopass 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 Probopass's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Probopass is weak to Fighting, Ground, Water-type moves. It has a double weakness to Fighting, Ground, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Probopass, prioritize using Fighting-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, Probopass resists Poison, Flying, Normal, Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Psychic, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Probopass 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 Probopass's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Probopass's maximum CP is 2,351 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,080 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. Probopass's CP is calculated from its base stats: 135 Attack, 275 Defense, and 155 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 Probopass caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,188 CP, or 1,485 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Probopass?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Probopass has the following CP at key levels: 891 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,188 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,485 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,351 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Probopass, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Probopass 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 Probopass better than regular?
Shadow Probopass deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Probopass 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 Probopass comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Probopass in Pokemon GO?
Probopass is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Nosepass with 50 Candy). Probopass can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Probopass be shiny in Pokemon GO?
