Verdict

Collector's Pick
Skwovet is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 95/86/172 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,067. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

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 Skwovet in Pokemon GO?
Skwovet has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Skwovet 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 Skwovet's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Skwovet is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Skwovet resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Skwovet 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 Skwovet's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Skwovet's maximum CP is 1,067 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 944 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. Skwovet's CP is calculated from its base stats: 95 Attack, 86 Defense, and 172 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 Skwovet caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 539 CP, or 674 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Skwovet?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Skwovet has the following CP at key levels: 404 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 539 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 674 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,067 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Skwovet, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Skwovet 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.
How to get Skwovet in Pokemon GO?
Skwovet can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Skwovet can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Skwovet be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Skwovet's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Skwovet availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
