    Shadow Seadra PvE Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Water Attacker:WaterWater GunWaterHydro Pump

    Shadow Seadra is just narrowly better than Shadow Horsea, thereby putting it in the same bracket of PvE irrelevancy.

    Shadow Seadra PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:DragonDragon BreathWaterHydro PumpDragonDragon Pulse
    • Ultra League:DragonDragon BreathDragonDragon PulseWaterHydro Pump

    🔵 Great League

    The Charged Moves of Shadow Seadra are too expensive, making it very awkward to use. It hardly gets any wins whatsoever, making it a forgotten Pokémon among one of the best types in the Great League: Water.

    🟡 Ultra League

    A max CP of only 2366 makes Shadow Seadra inadequate for the Ultra League.

    🟣 Master League

    Needless to say, Shadow Seadra gets annihilated in the Master League.
