Vibrava has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (99 Defense / 137 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Vibrava deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Vibrava in Pokemon GO?
Vibrava's best moveset is Dragon Breath (fast) with Scorching Sands (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Vibrava's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Vibrava takes super effective damage from Ice, Dragon, Fairy-type moves. It is double weak to Ice (2.56× damage), so those attackers cut through it fastest. It resists Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, so avoid those types against it.
What is Vibrava's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Vibrava reaches 1,384 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,225 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Vibrava?
A perfect 15/15/15 Vibrava shows 699 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 875 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 Vibrava better than regular Vibrava?
Shadow Vibrava 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 Vibrava in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Trapinch (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Vibrava be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Vibrava 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.
