Zigzagoon 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 (80 Defense / 116 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Zigzagoon 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 Zigzagoon in Pokemon GO?
Zigzagoon's best moveset is Rock Smash (fast) with Grass Knot (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Zigzagoon's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Zigzagoon takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Zigzagoon's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Zigzagoon reaches 575 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 508 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 Zigzagoon?
A perfect 15/15/15 Zigzagoon shows 290 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 363 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 Zigzagoon better than regular Zigzagoon?
Shadow Zigzagoon 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 Zigzagoon in Pokemon GO?
Zigzagoon spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Zigzagoon be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Zigzagoon 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.
