Basics
Accelgor is a Bug-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 1,395 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 1,744 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 2,760 at level 50. It is weak to Fire/Flying/Rock attacks (1.6×). It resists Grass/Fighting/Ground attacks. In raids, Infestation + Bug Buzz is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

When its body dries out, it weakens. So, to prevent dehydration, it wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane.
