Trainer Tips

Tranquill is a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon with a stat total of 409. With its bulk spread of 107 Defense and 158 Stamina, Tranquill has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Electric, Ice, Rock-type moves when using Tranquill. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Tranquill's performance.

Tranquill's moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 10,000 Stardust and 25 Candy. With 3 charged moves available, a second move gives Tranquill much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Tranquill is a Normal/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 144/107/158 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,631. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Tranquill 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.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Tranquill deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
