Verdict

Collector's Pick
Wimpod is a Bug/Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 67/74/93 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 567. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

What is the best moveset for Wimpod in Pokemon GO?
Wimpod has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Wimpod 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 Wimpod's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Wimpod is weak to Electric, Flying, Rock-type moves. On the other hand, Wimpod resists Fighting, Ground, Ice, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Wimpod 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 Wimpod's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Wimpod's maximum CP is 567 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 502 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. Wimpod's CP is calculated from its base stats: 67 Attack, 74 Defense, and 93 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 Wimpod caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 286 CP, or 358 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Wimpod?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Wimpod has the following CP at key levels: 215 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 286 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 358 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 567 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Wimpod, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Wimpod 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.
