Shadow Porygon in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Normal Attacker:
Tackle *
Hyper Beam
⚔️ Raids
Shadow Porygon, as a Normal-type base evolution, will not be helpful in taking down many raid bosses. Maybe it could handle the odd 1-star raid you’re hoping to meme through.
🛡️ Gyms
Shiny shadow flex only.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Tackle
Discharge
Signal Beam
Shadow Porygon’s preferred moveset is Tackle*, Discharge*, and Signal Beam*.
🔵 Great League
Shadow Porygon is unviable due to being unable to learn Quick Attack (unobtainable legacy), and all of its moves requiring Elite TMs to use.
