Verdict

Collector's Pick
Wattrel is a Electric/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 105/75/120 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 933. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Wattrel 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 Wattrel in Pokemon GO?
Wattrel has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Wattrel 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 Wattrel's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Wattrel is weak to Ice, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Wattrel resists Bug, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Ground, Steel-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Wattrel 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 Wattrel's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Wattrel's maximum CP is 933 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 826 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. Wattrel's CP is calculated from its base stats: 105 Attack, 75 Defense, and 120 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 Wattrel caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 472 CP, or 590 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Wattrel?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Wattrel has the following CP at key levels: 354 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 472 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 590 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 933 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Wattrel, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Wattrel 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.
