Drakloak Pokémon GO is a Dragon and Ghost-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Drakloak can be Shiny, how its evolution works, its weaknesses, current move pool and the main details worth knowing before you spend Candy or Stardust.
If you are building your collection or preparing for a future event, the Drakloak Pokémon GO information below keeps the permanent details in one place. Exact encounter availability changes through seasons and events, so current event guides should always be checked alongside this evergreen page.
Can Drakloak Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
No. Shiny Drakloak is not currently released in Pokémon GO. Catching or encountering Drakloak therefore cannot currently produce its Shiny form. This section can be refreshed when the Shiny becomes available.
How to Evolve Drakloak Pokémon GO
Dreepy
Drakloak
DragapultDrakloak evolves from Dreepy using 25 Candy. Drakloak evolves into Dragapult with 100 Candy. Evolution requirements in Pokémon GO can be different from the main-series games, so the Candy, item, Buddy or time requirements above are the ones that matter in GO.
Drakloak Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Drakloak is weak against Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost and Ice attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Drakloak.
Drakloak resists Bug, Electric, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Normal, Poison and Water attacks. Pokémon GO uses its own battle multipliers, so the amount of damage differs from the main-series games even when the general type matchup is familiar.
Drakloak Pokémon GO Stats

| Charged Moves | Dragon Pulse, Shadow Ball, Outrage |
How to Get Drakloak in Pokémon GO
Drakloak is released in Pokémon GO, but its exact encounter methods can change as seasons, events, raids, eggs and research rotate. For that reason, the safest way to hunt Drakloak Pokémon GO is to check the current Pokémon GO guides on The Click alongside this evergreen page rather than relying on an old spawn list.
When Drakloak is set as your Buddy Pokémon, it requires 5 km of walking per Buddy Candy. Buddy walking can therefore provide another steady Candy source when Drakloak is not appearing frequently.
Is Drakloak Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Drakloak Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Drakloak depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
