Arrokuda

Say it: ARR-oku-da

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Arrokuda is the Rush Pokémon — a Water type before Barraskewda. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Barraskewda — not a finished raid attacker. Water helps against Fire, Ground, and Rock; Grass and Electric hit Water hard. Catch Arrokuda from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Arrokuda (#846) is a Water Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Barraskewda. Trainers almost never power Arrokuda for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Barraskewda (fast Water attacker). Against Arrokuda, lead with Grass or Electric. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
