Frogadier

Say it: FRO-ga-die-r

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Frogadier is the Bubble Frog Pokémon — Water middle stage between Froakie and Greninja. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Greninja — not a finished raid attacker. Water helps against Fire, Ground, and Rock; Grass and Electric hit Water hard. Evolve Froakie up the line. Hydro Cannon from Froakie Community Day belongs on Greninja.

Frogadier (#657) is a Water Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Froakie. Trainers almost never power Frogadier for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Greninja (and Hydro Cannon). Against Frogadier, lead with Grass or Electric. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
