      The following chart shows Gulpin's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Gulpin'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 Gulpin has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      ⚔️ Raids

      Gulpin is the first of a two-stage Poison-type Pokémon line. It has a max CP of 979. Needless to say, Gulpin is not a good pick as a raid attacker.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      With a max CP of 979, this silly little Goober obviously cannot be used to find any success in any of the three main metas. Even in the 500 CP Little Cup format, Gulpin does not perform particularly well.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.
