Lechonk is adorable, but when it evolves into Oinkologne, things get interesting — because not all Oinkologne are built equal. The male and female forms carry genuinely different stat distributions, and picking the wrong one could mean wasting your Candy and Stardust. Here’s exactly which form to invest in, and why.

Male vs Female Oinkologne: Pokémon GO Compared
Male Oinkologne has an Attack of 186, Defense of 153, and Stamina of 242. Female Oinkologne has an Attack of 169, Defense of 162, and Stamina of 252. sportskeeda
| Stat | Male Oinkologne | Female Oinkologne |
|---|---|---|
| Attack | 186 | 169 |
| Defense | 153 | 162 |
| Stamina | 242 | 252 |
| Max CP | 2,949 | 2,819 |
| Best League | Great / Ultra | Great / Ultra |
Both share the same moveset — but their stats tell completely different stories depending on your use case.
PvP Verdict: Female Wins — It’s Not Even Close
The Female form has strictly better PvP stats than the Male, outpacing it by about 10 Defense and HP in both Great League and Ultra League, while the Male has only 8–10 more Attack. Pokémon GO Hub
In GO Battle League, bulk is king at capped CP formats. With lower Attack weighting and more Stamina, Female Oinkologne can have greater bulk in limited CP formats such as Great and Ultra League — with ideal IVs of 0/14/15 for Great League and 0/15/15 for Ultra League. sportskeeda
Female Oinkologne’s overall bulk is nearly identical to Great League stalwarts like Marowak, Forretress, Tentacruel, and Toedscruel, and it sits ahead of Serperior. In Ultra League, its bulk is comparable to Jellicent, just behind Ferrothorn, Cradily, and Tinkaton. Pokémon GO Hub
Best PvP Moveset for Female Oinkologne:
- Fast Attack: Tackle
- Charged Attacks: Body Slam + Trailblaze

PvE Verdict: Neither Form Is Worth It
Male Oinkologne does have slightly better raid performance than the female form, but the difference is not big enough to change the overall verdict. Neither form has the stats or move quality needed to stand out in raids, and both remain far from relevant in the current PvE meta. Pokémon GO Hub
As a pure Normal-type Pokémon, Oinkologne has a single weakness to Fighting-type moves, which is great for neutral coverage — but its raw power simply can’t compete with top-tier raid attackers. Skip it entirely for PvE.
| Mode | Best Form | Worth Using? |
|---|---|---|
| Great League PvP | ♀ Female | Yes — decent bulk |
| Ultra League PvP | ♀ Female | Yes — situational |
| Master League PvP | Neither | No — too low CP |
| Raids / PvE | ♂ Male (marginally) | No — skip entirely |
FAQs
Q. Should I evolve a male or female Lechonk for Pokémon GO PvP?
Always evolve the female — Female Oinkologne has better Defense and Stamina, making it significantly bulkier and more effective in Great and Ultra League formats.
Q. Is Oinkologne useful in Pokémon GO raids?
No — neither the male nor female form has the stats or moveset to compete meaningfully in raids, and it should be skipped entirely for PvE content.
