Moveset analysis

In Great League it runs Shadow Claw and Overheat. In Ultra League it runs Shadow Claw and Overheat. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.

The highest-damage fast move is Incinerate (12.8 DPS); Ember builds energy fastest (10 EPS). Blast Burn is an Elite TM move and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Typhlosion does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier S spot at #7 in Ultra League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.

  • Attack is its highest stat (223), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
  • A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Shadow Typhlosion deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Typhlosion in Pokemon GO?

Typhlosion's best moveset is Shadow Claw (fast) with Overheat (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

What are Typhlosion's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Typhlosion takes super effective damage from Ground, Rock, Water-type moves. It resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, Steel, so avoid those types against it.

What is Typhlosion's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Typhlosion reaches 3,266 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,889 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

Is Typhlosion good for PvP in Pokemon GO?

Typhlosion is ranked #10 (Tier S) in Great League with a 75.00% win rate. Typhlosion is ranked #7 (Tier S) in Ultra League with a 75.00% win rate.

In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Ultra League is 0/13/15 rather than a hundo.

Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Typhlosion bait shields instead of committing to one attack.

What CP is a 100% IV Typhlosion?

A perfect 15/15/15 Typhlosion shows 1,651 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,064 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 Typhlosion better than regular Typhlosion?

Shadow Typhlosion 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 Typhlosion in Pokemon GO?

Evolve it from Quilava (100 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.

Can Typhlosion be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Typhlosion 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.
