PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Water Attacker:
Water Gun
Hydro Pump
Shadow Seadra is just narrowly better than Shadow Horsea, thereby putting it in the same bracket of PvE irrelevancy.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Hydro Pump
Dragon Pulse - Ultra League:
Dragon Breath

Hydro 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.
