PvE / Raid Attacking

270 PokeGoHub Raid Score (estimate)

Calculated from this Pokémon's real base Attack stat and its best available charged move's power ÷ cooldown (DPS) — a transparent, documented formula, not an official Niantic or third-party tier list. Use it to compare relative attacking power, not as a definitive ranking.

Shiny

Shiny artwork shown above for reference. We don't maintain a live, region-by-region shiny-release-date log here (Niantic's shiny rollouts change too often to track reliably per species) — check current spawns, raids and event pages, or track your own catches with the Shiny Checklist.
