PLACE IN THE META: Unfortunately, Scolipede won't be a very strong Pokémon in GO. While this is one ferocious-looking centipede, its stats are just too low when compared to Pinsir's or Roserade's. As with most Pokémon, its stats are not incredibly weak, meaning it could find utility in Trainer Battles depending on its movepool.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Scolipede:

• Bug Bite
• Poison Jab

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Scolipede:

• Earthquake
• Megahorn
• ​Sludge Bomb
• Solar Beam

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Scolipede's movepool:

• Steamroller
• ​Venoshock

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Scolipede gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

Thanks for reading, Trainers! Cottonee and Whimsicott are up next!
