Pokemon GOhas no shortage of Pokemon for players to catch, yet more and more Pokemon continue to debut in special events. People hoping to capture Electric types may be satisfied with evolving their Eevee into a Jolteon or trying their hand at a Legendary. For anyone with patience and a willingness to put in more effort,Pokemon GOhas now made Tynamo available for capture as of 2021.
Tynamo’s max CP clocks in at 811 with an extremely shallow movepool to boot. People withTynamo may prefer to use its final evolution, Elektross. Like Magikarp, Tynamo is well known for being a weak Pokemon with a powerful evolution. However, if trainers don’t have the right candies or Unova stones, they’ll want to know how to get the most out of Tynamo in raids and battles.

Capturing Tynamo
On March 2021,Pokemon GOfeatured aspecial event called Charge Up, in which Tynamo made its debut. With the event come and gone, the easiest way to capture Tynamo is when it’s raining in the real world. Electric types usually reside near industrial buildings or school campuses.
Another method to obtaining Tynamo is getting it through Pokemon Eggs if players missed the Timed Research Event.
Tynamo’s Strengths and Moveset
Like any other Electric-type, Tynamo has a 2x (160%) weakness to Ground-type and 1/2x (63%) resistance to Flying, Steel, and Electric types. It has 105 Attack, 78 Defense, and 111 Speed. While it certainly hasn’t made anytop 10 worst Pokemon lists, Tynamo’s limited movepool requires a strategic trainer. In non-Pokemon GOentries, Tynamo has access to Tackle, Thunder Wave, Spark, and Charge Beam (Gen VII).
Struggle

For maximum DPS (damage per second), players should useSparkandStruggleoverTackle. The move Spark also has a STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) advantage for Tynamo that Struggle and Tackle do not. Struggle, despite its low EPS (energy per second), has thehighest DPS and base damagecompared to Spark.
Players will get the most damage out of Tynamo if they stick to a STAB move and take Struggle over Tackle, which has a Base Damage of 5 and a DPS of 10. Thus, the recommended moveset for Tynamo in both offense and defense is:
There are other Electric-type Pokemon inPokemon GOthat are much stronger and durable than Tynamo. But for the trainers who want to obtain Elektross, they’ll need to make the most out of their Tynamo until they have 25 Candies toevolve it to the next stage.
