Vine Whip
Power Whip - Poison Attacker:
Vine Whip
Sludge Bomb
The middle of a three-stage evolution line hardly ever finds any PvE viability in Pokémon GO. So, the best route is always to collect Candy and evolve it ASAP. Same's the case with Shadow Ivysaur. 🍃
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Vine Whip
Power Whip
Sludge Bomb
🔵 Great League
Shadow Ivysaur can beat some Water types and a few others like Diggersby, Wigglytuff, Furret, and Golisopod. However, that's about it and its evolution, Shadow Venusaur, is a legitimate threat in the Great League.
With a max CP of 1921, Shadow Ivysaur is insufficient for the Ultra and Master League.
💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Ivysaur are Vine Whip, Power Whip and Sludge Bomb
