Stunky 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 (90 Defense / 160 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 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Stunky deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Fog and Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Stunky in Pokemon GO?
Stunky's best moveset is Bite (fast) with Sludge Bomb (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Stunky's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Stunky takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves. It resists Dark, Ghost, Grass, Poison, Psychic, so avoid those types against it.
What is Stunky's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Stunky reaches 1,301 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,151 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Stunky?
A perfect 15/15/15 Stunky shows 657 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 822 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 Stunky better than regular Stunky?
Shadow Stunky deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Stunky in Pokemon GO?
Stunky spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Stunky be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Stunky depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
