Shroodle

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Shroodle is the Toxic Mouse Pokémon — Poison and Normal before Grafaiai. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Grafaiai — not a finished raid attacker. Poison helps against Fairy and Grass; Ground and Psychic hit it hard. Catch Shroodle from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.
Say it: SHR-oo-dle
Shroodle (#944) is a Poison / Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Grafaiai. Trainers almost never power Shroodle for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Grafaiai. Against Shroodle, lead with Ground or Psychic. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
