Dusclops Raid Guide

Dusclops is a Ghost-type Tier 3 raid boss with a CP of 13160 in battle, and it’s weak to Dark and Ghost moves. Dusclops can be soloed by a well-prepared trainer, but lower-level trainers may need 2-4 players to ensure they can take it down.

It can be caught in the following CP range:

• 851 CP to 909 CP (at Level 20, no weather boost)
• 1064 CP to 1136 CP (at Level 25, boosted by Fog weather)

Dusclops is a very powerful Pokémon for the Great League, but it would need Candy XL investment. So, whether it’s catching a Dusclops or, more importantly, farming Candy XL, these raids are ideal.
