Welcome back, Trainers! We'll be taking a look at what Kricketot and Kricketune will be like in Pokémon GO this time. Let's get into it.

KRICKETOT

• CATEGORY: Cricket Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: KRICK-eh-tot
• TYPE: Bug
• HEIGHT: 1' 00"
• WEIGHT: 4.9 lbs.

ATTACK:  45

DEFENSE:  74

STAMINA:  74

Kricketot should be a very common Pokémon, just about as common as Volbeat and Illumise are. As for Eggs, we don't expect it to be found in any category. And as for Buddy distance, we expect it to take 1KM to find a Candy.

• TYPE: Bug

PLACE IN THE META: Kricketune has become quite a meme in the community for its hilarious cry. But humorous noises won't make it viable. It's a Butterfree-like Pokémon, which means its a Bug-type with poor stats that's destined to sit in the shadow of so many other Pokémon.
​
Kricketune is a Bug-type. This makes it weak to Flying-, Rock-, and Fire-type attacks, as well as resistant to Ground-, Fighting-, and Grass-type attacks.

​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 Kricketune:

• Fury Cutter
• Infestation

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

• Bug Buzz
• Night Slash
• X-Scissor

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

• Fell Stinger
• Leech Life

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Kricketune gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution.

Thanks for reading, Trainers!
