How to get Chesnaught in Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go players can obtain Chesnaught by evolving a Chespin to Quilladin with 25 Candy and then evolving Quilladin to Chesnaught with 100 more Candy.

Chespin is a common spawn in the wild and is usually found in grassy areas of the game such as parks, forests, golf clubs, etc.

Is Chesnaught good in Pokemon Go PvP?

Chesnaught is very good in Pokemon Go PvP, particularly in the Great League and Ultra League.

As a Grass/Fighting type Pokemon, it has an excellent offensive presence in PvP. Chesnaught can beat some of the most powerful PvP Pokemon such as Swampert, Umbreon, Galarian Stunfisk, Lickitung, and Bastiodon.

Players have to be careful against Flying and Dragon-type Pokemon as Chesnaught cannot do much damage to them. In such situations, we recommend switching to another Pokemon in your Go Battle League team.

Best Chesnaught Pokemon Go PvP moveset

The best Chesnaught Pokemon Go PvP moveset is Vine Whip as a Fast Move combined with Frenzy Plant and Superpower as the Charged Moves.

Vine Whip offers fast energy gains and helps this Pokemon reach its powerful Charged Moves quickly. Frenzy Plant is Chesnaught’s exclusive Community Day move and it deals excellent damage output. Superpower is tricky to use because of its self-debuffs but if unshielded, it dishes out high STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) damage.

Is Chesnaught good in Pokemon Go PvE?

Yes, Chesnaught is good in Pokemon Go PvE as a Grass-type but there are better Fighting-type Pokemon to use in battles.

There aren’t too many Grass Pokemon with high Attack stats and Chesnaught is one of those species with good stats in Pokemon Go. While it is not the best, it can be used in your Raid Battle team against Ground, Rock, and Water-type Pokemon.

As a Fighting-type Pokemon, it is outclassed by many Pokemon such as Lucario, Conkeldurr, Machamp, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Blaziken.

Best Chesnaught Pokemon Go PvE moveset

The best Chesnaught Pokemon Go PvP moveset is Vine Whip as a Fast Move and Frenzy Plant as a Charged Move.

It doesn’t have a good Fighting-type Fast Move to do enough damage in PvE. But with the combination of Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant, Chesnaught can put in impressive damage figures and take advantage of its balanced stats.
