Loudred
Say it: LOU-dre-d
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Loudred is the Big Voice Pokémon — Normal middle stage between Whismur and Exploud. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Exploud — not a finished raid attacker. Normal only hits Normal hard and loses to Fighting. Evolve Whismur up the line. Disarming Voice from Whismur Community Day belongs on Exploud.
