Kirlia

Kirlia is a Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon Go and is a part of the Hisuian Discoveries Event, which has the following schedule:

Event Date and time
Hisuian Discoveries Event Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, August 2, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time

 

Kirlia can evolve into a Garveoir (male or female) or a Gallade (male). Gardevoir is one of the best Fairy types in the game for PvE and is set to be one of the strongest mega evolutions on its release in the future. Gallade also has a cool mega evolution.

Kirlia can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 508 – 552 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 635 – 690 CP at Level 25 with Windy or Cloudy weather boost

Being a Psychic and Fairy type, Kirlia is weak to the Ghost, Poison, and Steel types. 

High-level trainers can easily solo Kirlia, while trainers of a lower level might need 2-3 trainers to take down Whiscash.
