Ludicolo

Ludicolo is a Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon Go and is a part of the Secrets of the Jungle event. This fun pineapple-esque dancing Water/Grass type Pokémon was popularly featured in the Detective Pikachu film, appearing in one of its funniest scenes!

Ludicolo can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1259- 1327 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 1574- 1659 CP at Level 25 with Rainy or Sunny weather boost

With its unique Water and Grass typing and Tier 3, it is weak to the Bug, Flying and Poison types. High-level trainers can solo Ludicolo with the right counters while others would need 2-3 trainers for ease.
