Kingler Raid Guide

Kingler

Kingler is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. With the powerful moveset duo of Bubble and Crabhammer, it is a top-tier Water type DPS option. As such, it is a highly sought-after catch among PvE enthusiasts.

It can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1540 – 1616 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
• 1925 – 2020 CP at Level 25 with Rainy weather boost

Since Kingler is a pure Water-type Pokémon, its counters include strong Electric and Grass types. It’s rather fragile, making the Raid battle an easy solo for most trainers. However, lower-level trainers would need groups of two to get the job done.
