PLACE IN THE META: Carracosta's future in GO does not look too promising. Its stats are not high enough to make it a useful Raider or Gym attacker, and its rather large weakness to Grass-type attacks will hinder it in the PVP field with Tropius and Frenzy Plant users being so powerful.

​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 Carracosta:
  • Bite
  • Smack Down
  • Water Gun
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Carracosta:
  • Ancient Power
  • Crunch
  • Ice Beam
  • Surf

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

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Carracosta gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Archen and Archeops are up next.
