Pokédex notes
Gumshoos is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0735. Normal types need coverage moves — check our moveset guide before spending TMs.
Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Invest tip: Bite + Hyper Fang / Crunch is the usual kit. Low priority versus stronger Normals. Shadow Gumshoos is a novelty — remove Frustration before investing. No Community Day exclusive is required.
