Is Typhlosion (Hisuian) good in Pokemon GO?

Situational
Power upStardustCandyXL Candy
Lv 20 → 40 135,000 15

Tier B at rank #16 makes Typhlosion (Hisuian) a useful Ghost-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Ghost bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.

  • Attack is its highest stat (238), 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.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Fog weather — worth timing raids around.
