Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Turtonator in Pokemon GO?
Turtonator's best moveset is Ember (fast) and Overheat (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 Turtonator's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Turtonator is weak to Dragon, Ground, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Turtonator resists Fire, Grass, Bug, Electric, Steel-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Turtonator 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 Turtonator's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Turtonator's maximum CP is 2,513 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,223 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. Turtonator's CP is calculated from its base stats: 165 Attack, 215 Defense, and 155 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 Turtonator caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 1,270 CP, or 1,587 CP with weather boost (level 25).
Is Turtonator good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Turtonator is ranked #11 (Tier S) in Great League with a 75.00% overall win rate. The recommended moveset is Ember and Overheat. The ideal IV spread for Great League is 0/14/13 — for CP-capped leagues like Great League and Ultra League, lower Attack IVs with higher Defense and Stamina allow Turtonator to reach a higher level within the CP cap, gaining more total stat product.

The ideal IV spread for Ultra League is 12/15/15 — for CP-capped leagues like Great League and Ultra League, lower Attack IVs with higher Defense and Stamina allow Turtonator to reach a higher level within the CP cap, gaining more total stat product. When deciding which league to prioritize, consider where Turtonator has its best ranking and win rate. Unlocking a second charged move (costing 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy) is highly recommended for PvP, as it gives Turtonator better coverage and the ability to bait shields more effectively.
What CP is a 100% IV Turtonator?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Turtonator has the following CP at key levels: 952 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 1,270 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,587 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 2,513 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Turtonator, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Turtonator 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 Turtonator in Pokemon GO?
Turtonator can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. It is also available from 10km eggs. Turtonator can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
