Verdict

Collector's Pick
Slurpuff is a Fairy-type Pokemon with base stats of 168/163/193 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,486. 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 Slurpuff in Pokemon GO?
Slurpuff has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Slurpuff 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 Slurpuff's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Slurpuff is weak to Poison, Steel-type moves. On the other hand, Slurpuff resists Dragon, Bug, Dark, Fighting-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Slurpuff 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 Slurpuff's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Slurpuff's maximum CP is 2,486 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,199 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. Slurpuff's CP is calculated from its base stats: 168 Attack, 163 Defense, and 193 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 Slurpuff caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,256 CP, or 1,570 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Slurpuff?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Slurpuff has the following CP at key levels: 942 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,256 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,570 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,486 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Slurpuff, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Slurpuff 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 Slurpuff in Pokemon GO?
Slurpuff is obtained by evolving its pre-evolution (Swirlix with 50 Candy). Slurpuff can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Slurpuff be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Slurpuff'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 Slurpuff availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
