Wooper
Say it: WOO-per
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Wooper is the Water Fish Pokémon — Water and Ground before Quagsire. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Quagsire — not a finished raid attacker. Water/Ground hits Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel well; Grass hits it for 4×. Paldean Wooper is Poison / Ground — see that form. Catch Wooper from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.
Say it: WOO-per
Wooper (#194) is a Water / Ground Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Quagsire. Trainers almost never power Wooper for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Quagsire. Against Wooper, lead with Grass (best). Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.

Invest tip: Do not sink Stardust into Wooper. Keep high-IV copies for Quagsire. Shadow Wooper is the same — evolve toward Shadow Quagsire after Frustration removal. Paldean Wooper evolves to Clodsire — separate investment.
