Shadow Hoppip PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Hoppip is

  1. More defense oriented.
  2. The first of a three-staged evolutionary line.
  3. Pitiably weak, with a max CP of just 678, with stats to match.

As such, there's no reason to use Shadow Hoppip as a raid attacker.

Shadow Hoppip PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Hoppip’s low max CP should be a pretty big indicator that it is not suitable for any of the three main leagues. However, it does have some merits in the 500 CP Little Cup format. For starters, it has solid stats for the meta. Secondly, it has a spammy full Grass-type fast and charged attack combo. These two things make Hoppip win against some big meta threat such as Wooper, Wynaut, Chinchou, and Seel.

However, it should also be noted that Hoppip does lose to a lot of big meta threats such as Ducklett, Deino, and Bronzor as well. Not only that, the shadow bonus actually makes Hoppip lose HP very quickly in the Little Cup due to low defenses.
