Is Vigoroth good in Pokemon GO?

Vigoroth 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 (145 Defense / 190 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 Vigoroth deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ

What is the best moveset for Vigoroth in Pokemon GO?

Vigoroth's best moveset is Counter (fast) with Rock Slide (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.

What are Vigoroth's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

Vigoroth takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.

What is Vigoroth's max CP in Pokemon GO?

Vigoroth reaches 2,225 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,968 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 Vigoroth?

A perfect 15/15/15 Vigoroth shows 1,124 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,405 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 Vigoroth better than regular Vigoroth?

Shadow Vigoroth 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 Vigoroth in Pokemon GO?

Evolve it from Slakoth (25 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.

Can Vigoroth be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Vigoroth 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.
