Pulchrana grandocula occurs in streams and rivers in montane and lowland forests at elevations below 1,500 m (4,900 ft). It occurs in both undisturbed and disturbed habitats. Reproduction takes place in streams where also the tadpoles develop. Threats to this species are habitat loss and pollution, although it is a common species that has a stable population overall. It occurs in several protected areas.^[1]
