Skwovet

Say it: SKW-ove-t

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Skwovet is the Cheeky Pokémon — Normal before Greedent. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Greedent — not a finished raid attacker. Normal only hits Normal hard; Fighting hits Normal hard. Catch Skwovet from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Say it: SKW-ove-t

Skwovet (#819) is a Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Greedent. Trainers almost never power Skwovet for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Greedent. Against Skwovet, lead with Fighting. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Pokédex notes

Skwovet is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0819. 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: Do not sink Stardust into Skwovet. Keep high-IV copies for Greedent. Shadow Skwovet is the same — evolve toward Shadow Greedent after Frustration removal.
