Shadow Skiploom's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Skiploom PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Skiploom is the second-stage of a three-stage Grass type line. Much like its prior form, it’s more defense oriented, with a low attack stat and a max CP of just 1103. As such, there’s no reason to use Shadow Skiploom as a raid attacker.

Shadow Skiploom PvP Analysis

Shadow Skiploom's mid-stage status really shows when it comes to PvP. With a max 1103 CP, Shadow Skiploom is too weak for any of three main leagues. However, in this case, Skiploom is also undesirable in the 500 CP Little Cup, where its pre-evolution can perform better.
