Verdict

Collector's Pick
Yamper is a Electric-type Pokemon with base stats of 80/90/153 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 890. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Yamper 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 Yamper in Pokemon GO?
Yamper has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Yamper 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 Yamper's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Yamper is weak to Ground-type moves. On the other hand, Yamper resists Electric, Flying, Steel-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Yamper 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 Yamper's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Yamper's maximum CP is 890 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 788 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. Yamper's CP is calculated from its base stats: 80 Attack, 90 Defense, and 153 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 Yamper caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 450 CP, or 562 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Yamper?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Yamper has the following CP at key levels: 337 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 450 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 562 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 890 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Yamper, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Yamper 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 Yamper in Pokemon GO?
Yamper can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 1-Star Raids raid boss. Yamper can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
