Spiritomb is a Ghost/Dark-type Pokemon with a stat total of 505. With its bulk spread of 199 Defense and 137 Stamina, Spiritomb has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Fairy-type moves when using Spiritomb. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Spiritomb's performance.

Spiritomb's moves get a damage boost in Fog weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy. With 4 charged moves available, a second move gives Spiritomb much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Spiritomb is a Ghost/Dark-type Pokemon with base stats of 169/199/137 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,343. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Spiritomb 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 Spiritomb in Pokemon GO?
Spiritomb has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Spiritomb 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 Spiritomb's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Spiritomb is weak to Fairy-type moves. On the other hand, Spiritomb resists Normal, Psychic, Fighting, Poison-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Spiritomb 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 Spiritomb's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Spiritomb's maximum CP is 2,343 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,072 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. Spiritomb's CP is calculated from its base stats: 169 Attack, 199 Defense, and 137 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 Spiritomb caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,184 CP, or 1,480 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Spiritomb?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Spiritomb has the following CP at key levels: 888 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,184 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,480 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,343 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Spiritomb, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Spiritomb 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 Spiritomb in Pokemon GO?
Spiritomb can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Spiritomb can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Spiritomb be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Spiritomb'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 Spiritomb availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
