Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Squawkabilly in Pokemon GO?
Squawkabilly's best moveset is Peck (fast) and Brave Bird (charged). This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Squawkabilly's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Squawkabilly is weak to Electric, Ice, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Squawkabilly resists Ghost, Ground, Bug, Grass-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Squawkabilly 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 Squawkabilly's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Squawkabilly's maximum CP is 2,231 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,973 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. Squawkabilly's CP is calculated from its base stats: 185 Attack, 105 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.
