Verdict

Collector's Pick
Surskit is a Bug/Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 93/87/120 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 894. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Surskit 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 Surskit in Pokemon GO?
Surskit has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Surskit 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 Surskit's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Surskit is weak to Electric, Flying, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Surskit resists Fighting, Ground, Ice, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Surskit 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 Surskit's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Surskit's maximum CP is 894 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 791 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. Surskit's CP is calculated from its base stats: 93 Attack, 87 Defense, and 120 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 Surskit caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 452 CP, or 565 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Surskit?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Surskit has the following CP at key levels: 339 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 452 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 565 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 894 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Surskit, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Surskit 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 Surskit in Pokemon GO?
Surskit can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Surskit can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Surskit be shiny in Pokemon GO?
