Tandemaus

Say it: TA-nde-mau-s

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Tandemaus is the Couple Pokémon — Normal before Maushold. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Maushold — not a finished raid attacker. Normal has few offensive strengths; Fighting hits Normal hard. Catch Tandemaus from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Tandemaus (#924) is a Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Maushold. Trainers almost never power Tandemaus for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Maushold. Against Tandemaus, lead with Fighting. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Pokédex notes

Tandemaus is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0924. 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 Tandemaus. Keep high-IV copies for Maushold. Shadow Tandemaus is the same — evolve toward Shadow Maushold after Frustration removal.
