Is Sirfetchd good in Pokemon GO?

|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Tier B at rank #9 makes Sirfetchd a useful Bug-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Bug bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (248), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- 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 Sirfetchd deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
