Froakie is one of the starter Pokemon fromPokemon X & Y, but it’s been welcomed to the cast ofPokemon GOsince 2020. Capable of evolving into the Water/Dark-type Greninja, the Bubble Frog Pokemon is a must-have for many players.
Until players have gathered enough Candy, players might want to construct a solid moveset out of Froakie’sPokemon GOmovelist. Like most,Pokemon GOgives some type-coverage that will come in handy during battles. Of course, trainers who do not have Froakie will want to obtain one first.

How to Get Froakie inPokemon GO
Froakie debuted in theKalos Celebration Eventback in December 2020 alongside many other Kalos Pokemon. Theeasiest way to get Froakie is by catching it in the wild. As a Water-type Pokemon, itappears more frequently near rivers or beaches. attempt to look for Froakie on rainy daystoo, since Water-types will appear more frequently during stormy weather.
Anothermethod of getting Froakie is to hatch it from 5km Eggs. These are a little more common than its 2km Eggs counterpart and can be found at Pokestops. Stick it in the Incubator and walk the desired amount to hatch the Egg. It should be noted thatPokemon Eggs will have randomized Pokemon, so it’s not always guaranteed Froakie will hatch from a 5km Egg.
Finally, trainers can try catching Froakie in Raid Battles.
Between these three options, players will have more luck hunting for Froakie in the wild. Catching multiple Froakie will also give the player Candy, which Froakie needs a total of 125 if players want to evolve it into Frogadier and Greninja.

These two movesets are the bestoffense movesetsfor Froakie. To achieve maximum STAB and DPS, the best combo isBubble + Surf.However, the movePound has less EPS,being at 10 EPS compared to Bubble’s 11.7. Players should remember that as a normal-type move, Pound offers no STAB for Froakie and is useless against Ghost-type Pokemon.

BothBubble + Aerial AceandPound + Water Pulseare other options, but not as powerful/beneficial as the previously recommended movesets. The reason being is they don’t use the moveSurf, which has a DPS of 45.9. However, trainers looking to use moves with less EPS will want to try out these movesets.
Flying
With Defensive movesets, it’s better to not use Pound as the Quick Move. Have Froakie make the most out of its STAB by having Bubble as its Quick Move and using anotherWater-type move for its Charged Move. TheBubble + Surfmoveset also works well defensively, but players can substitute Surf for Water Pulse instead.
