There are two evolutions for Yungooswith 50 Candies AND during the day the player can evolve Yungoos and Gumshoos. Yungoos has a max of 994 CP (Combat Power), 122 ATK (Attack) and 56 DEF (Defense). This Pokemon is found to be a Normal Type Pokemon and since Yungoos is Normal Type it is weak against Fighting-type attacks (160% Damage). However, it has reduced damage from Ghost-type attacks (39%). The best moveset for this Pokemon is Tackle (Normal-type attack) and Crunch (Dark-Type Attack) giving 4.44 DPS (Damage Per Second) and a 19.32 TDO (Total Damage Output) these moves are boosted when the player uses Yungoos in Partly Cloudy and Fog weather. If the player wishes to get additional moves it will cost 25 Candies and 10,000 StarDust. There is a shiny version of Yungoos available. The only difference between Yungoos and Shiny Yungoos is that the color down their back changes from yellow to purple and Yungoos toes turn from black to white.
If the player wishes to place Yungoosin a battleagainst another Pokemon it is not smart, since Yungoos are not the strongest nor have the strongest hit. It is smart to use Yungoos first if the player chooses to use Yungoos in a battle. Since Yungoos is such a smaller Pokemon and is weaker, it is also not smart to place Yungoos in a gym or to use Yungoos in a raid. The player should always check how well their Yungoos are before applying these Pokemon to any future battles.
