Skrelp

Say it: SKR-elp

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Skrelp is the Mock Kelp Pokémon — Poison and Water before Dragalge. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Dragalge — not a finished raid attacker. Poison helps against Grass and Fairy; Water helps against Fire, Ground, and Rock. Psychic, Ground, Electric, and Grass punish it. Catch Skrelp from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Skrelp (#690) is a Poison / Water Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Dragalge. Trainers almost never power Skrelp for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Dragalge. Against Skrelp, lead with Psychic, Ground, Electric, or Grass. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
