Verdict

Collector's Pick
Tyrogue is a Fighting-type Pokemon with base stats of 64/64/111 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 556. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Tyrogue 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Tyrogue in Pokemon GO?
Tyrogue has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Tyrogue for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Tyrogue's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Tyrogue is weak to Fairy, Flying, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Tyrogue resists Bug, Dark, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Tyrogue 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 Tyrogue's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Tyrogue's maximum CP is 556 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 492 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. Tyrogue's CP is calculated from its base stats: 64 Attack, 64 Defense, and 111 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 Tyrogue caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 281 CP, or 351 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Tyrogue?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Tyrogue has the following CP at key levels: 210 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 281 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 351 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 556 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Tyrogue, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Tyrogue 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 Tyrogue in Pokemon GO?
Tyrogue can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Tyrogue can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Tyrogue be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Tyrogue's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Tyrogue availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
