How strong is Kleptifux in Pokémon GO?

This is how strong Kleptifux is: Kleptifux is not a strong fighter in Pokémon GO, neither in gyms nor in raids or PvP. Even its evolution Gaunux doesn’t offer much. Currently, it is a niche Pokémon in the Super League, but even there, there are many better options.

It remains to be seen how it looks after the Community Day. Because at the event, special moves are often distributed that can make Pokémon more meta-relevant. What the move will be this time is still unknown.

Why was Kleptifux chosen? Its battle strength probably won’t be the reason, as when it comes to PvP, Blipp would have surpassed it with its evolution Wampitz.

However: Kleptifux is not yet available as Shiny in Pokémon GO. That typically changes when a Pokémon can be caught on Community Day, after all, one of the top arguments for the event series is the improved Shiny chance.

In this respect, you can definitely look forward to a new Shiny that you can soon add to your collection.

Which bonuses and other elements the Community Day will bring is currently still unknown. But: There’s still a bit of time until August. Before that, for example, the Community Day with Frospino is coming up.

Community Days are not everything in Pokémon GO! A lot of events are on the agenda to provide you with bonuses and new Pokémon for your collection. What are they in the new month? We have summarized them for you as usual! Here you can find all events in June 2026 in Pokémon GO in the list!
