Dewgong is a Tier-3 Raid Water Ice boss with a raid boss CP of 12803. Dewgong is lacking in offence, but is decently bulky for a Tier-3 raid boss. Luckily it can be soloed easily.
Dewgong can be caught from raids in the following Combat Power ranges:
- 1071 CP – 1134 CP (Level 20, no weather Boost)
- 1339 CP – 1418 CP (Level 25, Snow or Rainy)
Dewgong isn’t what you would call a useful PvE Pokémon, given the low stats. However, the low Attack and higher Defence/Stamina lend themselves well to PvP.

You can see from the Pokémon listed that your best bet is to use strong Electric, Rock, and Fighting-type moves. Zap zap zap. Three or four good counters and you should be in a solid position to solo Dewgong. If you’re unsure, or less confident one other reasonably prepared trainer should be enough to take it down.
Dewgong Move Sets

Fast Moves | Charge Moves |
---|---|
Frost Breath Ice | Blizzard Ice |
Iron Tail Steel | Aurora Beam Ice |
Water Pulse Water | |

Frost Breath, Blizzard, and Aurora Beam are all moves that could be a concern for Grass-types. Iron Tail could cause problems for Rock types, however, it’s not anything to be very concerned over.
