Tauros 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.
- Attack is its highest stat (198), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- 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.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Tauros in Pokemon GO?
Tauros's best moveset is Zen Headbutt (fast) with Earthquake (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Tauros's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Tauros takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Tauros's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Tauros reaches 2,962 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,620 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 Tauros shows 1,497 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,872 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.

Tauros spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Tauros be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Tauros 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.
