Tranquill
Say it: TRA-nqui-ll
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Tranquill is the Wild Pigeon Pokémon — Normal and Flying middle stage between Pidove and Unfezant. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Unfezant — not a finished raid attacker. Flying helps against Grass, Fighting, and Bug; Electric, Ice, and Rock hit Flying hard. Evolve Pidove up the line.

Tranquill (#520) is a Normal / Flying Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Pidove. Trainers almost never power Tranquill for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Unfezant. Against Tranquill, lead with Electric, Ice, or Rock. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
