Seedot

Say it: SEE-do-t

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Seedot is the Acorn Pokémon — Grass before Nuzleaf and Shiftry. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Shiftry — not a finished raid attacker. Grass helps against Water, Ground, and Rock; Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug hit Grass hard. Leaf Blade (now Standard on Shiftry) originated from Seedot Community Day. Catch Seedot from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Seedot (#273) is a Grass Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Shiftry. Trainers almost never power Seedot for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Shiftry (and Leaf Blade when relevant). Against Seedot, lead with Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, or Bug. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
