Dewpider

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Dewpider is the Water Bubble Pokémon — Water and Bug before Araquanid. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Araquanid — not a finished raid attacker. Water/Bug hits Fire, Ground, Rock, Grass, Psychic, and Dark in spots; Electric, Flying, and Rock punish it. Catch Dewpider from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Dewpider (#751) is a Water / Bug Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Araquanid. Trainers almost never power Dewpider for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Araquanid. Against Dewpider, lead with Electric, Flying, or Rock. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
