More information
The following chart shows Seadra's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Seadra's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.
Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Seadra has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).
Seadra in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Water Attacker:
Water Gun
Hydro Pump
⚔️ Raids
Seadra’s stat spread and maxed CP don’t lend well to it being useful in raid battles. Its optimal Water-based moveset of Water Gun and Hydro Pump is far too slow to build up charged moves to make an impact on a raid boss’s health bar. While it has access to a full Dragon moveset, there are better options to use. All of the fully evolved Water-type starters outclass Seadra and are much more readily available through spawns, research, and eggs.
🛡️ Gyms
This middle evolution lacks anything notable that offers it any survivability when defending Gyms. Though Water is usually a decent type to add coverage and remove weaknesses in Gym defenders, you need to use something with more bulk, like Lapras, Walrein, or Blastoise.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Hydro Pump
Dragon Pulse - Ultra League:
Dragon Breath
Hydro Pump
Dragon Pulse
🧸 Little League
Seadra is ranked extremely low in all variants of the Little Cup, overlooked by its evolution and other Water types that offer more bulk or wider movepools. The best moveset possible for Seadra at this time would consist of Dragon Breath, Hydro Pump, and Blizzard, which requires the use of an Elite TM. Even with this moveset, Seadra has no chance of beating the meta leaders such as Marill, Bronzor, or Shuckle.
🔵 Great League
Building on what was said for Little League, Seadra ranks even lower in the Great League due to the greater number of available Pokémon. Using one is highly unlikely to work in your favor, so we suggest choosing a different battler.
🟡 Ultra League
Seadra maxes out at 2366 CP, which is just below the Ultra League limit.
🟣 Master League
If you’re considering Seadra for Master League, just keep swimming to another choice.
