Players will find that the max CP for this character is 1,620. Unfortunately, it has a weak attack strength, which means it is not the greatest creature to use when it comes to trying and takedown fierce enemies. Its average defense stat also makes it not an optimal choice for battles. Still, it is always an exciting time when players from other regions get the ability to add a region exclusive character to their team for a limited time.
