Ducklett

Say it: DU-ckl-ett

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Ducklett is the Water Bird Pokémon — Water and Flying before Swanna. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Swanna — not a finished raid attacker. Water/Flying hits Fire, Ground, Fighting, and Bug well; Electric hits it for 4×, and Rock and Ice punish it. Catch Ducklett from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Ducklett (#580) is a Water / Flying Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Swanna. Trainers almost never power Ducklett for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Swanna. Against Ducklett, lead with Electric (best), or Rock or Ice. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
