Snover has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (105 Defense / 155 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Snover deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Snover in Pokemon GO?
Snover's best moveset is Leafage (fast) with Stomp (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Snover's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Snover takes super effective damage from Fire, Bug, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Rock, Steel-type moves. It is double weak to Fire (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Grass, Ground, Water, so avoid those types against it.
What is Snover's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Snover reaches 1,311 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,159 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

A perfect 15/15/15 Snover shows 662 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 828 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Snover better than regular Snover?

How do you get Snover in Pokemon GO?
Snover spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Snover be shiny in Pokemon GO?
