Verdict

Collector's Pick
Zigzagoon is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 58/80/116 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 575.

Zigzagoon 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.
