PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Water Attacker:
Water Gun
Aqua Tail * - Ground Attacker:
Mud Shot
Mud Bomb
⚔️ Raids
Shadow Quagsire should not be used in raids.
🛡️ Gyms
Shadow Quagsire is a D-Tier defender, so it’s only suitable for shiny flex.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
Shadow Quagsire’s preferred moveset is Mud Shot, Aqua Tail*, and Stone Edge.
🔵 Great League
Shadow Quagsire is much stronger than its non-shadow variant, and is arguably the required form to use. Its fast pacing and extra shadow boost power allow it to either demand shields with Aqua Tail or pose a serious threat with a Stone Edge nuke. It remains an excellent Great League pick and one that you should definitely consider building for your PvP roster.
🟡 Ultra League
Shadow Quagsire only reaches 2269 CP at Level 50; however, it is an incredibly cool spice pick if you’re willing to make such an investment! Its moveset is quite decent, but its lack of stat product holds it back from being truly viable in this format.
🟣 Master League
Don’t use Shadow Quagsire in the Master League unless you’re looking for fun and quick losses!
