Basics
Dewgong is a Water/Ice-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 1,134 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 1,418 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 2,245 at level 50. It is weak to Electric/Grass/Fighting/Rock attacks (1.6×). It resists Water/Ice attacks. In raids, Ice Shard + Blizzard is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.
