Verdict

Collector's Pick
Silicobra is a Ground-type Pokemon with base stats of 103/123/141 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,222. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Silicobra 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Silicobra in Pokemon GO?
Silicobra has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Silicobra 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 Silicobra's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Silicobra is weak to Grass, Ice, Water-type moves. On the other hand, Silicobra resists Electric, Poison, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Silicobra 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 Silicobra's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Silicobra's maximum CP is 1,222 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,081 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. Silicobra's CP is calculated from its base stats: 103 Attack, 123 Defense, and 141 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 Silicobra caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 617 CP, or 772 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Silicobra?

If you catch a perfect IV Silicobra, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Silicobra 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.
