FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Toucannon in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Toucannon's best moveset is Peck with Beak Blast, worth 29.7 DPS as a Flying-type raid attacker. Beak Blast is a legacy move: a regular TM never rolls it, so it takes an Elite TM or the event that brings it back.
It is caught knowing Frustration, which only comes off with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket Takeover event — do that before spending Stardust on it.
What are Shadow Toucannon's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Toucannon takes super effective damage from Electric, Ice, Rock. It resists Bug, Grass. Ghost, Ground damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Toucannon's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Toucannon reaches 3,040 CP at level 50 and 2,689 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Toucannon: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Toucannon?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Toucannon shows 606 CP (level 8), or 998 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,536 CP, or 1,920 weather boosted.
Is Shadow Toucannon better than regular Toucannon?
In raids, yes: Shadow Toucannon deals 29.7 DPS (#3 Flying) against 24.9 DPS (#15 Flying) for the regular form. It pays for that with 20% more damage taken, so it faints sooner. See Toucannon.
