PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
Girafarig is a weak Pokémon and even with the additional power from the Shadow boost, Shadow Girafarig remains unviable for PvE battles like Raids and Gyms. It honestly has nothing to offer.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Confusion
Psychic Fangs
Trailblaze - Ultra League:
Confusion
Psychic Fangs
Trailblaze
🔵 Great League
Shadow Girafarig benefits immensely from its Normal/Psychic typing, resisting Ghost-type attacks. Moreover, STAB Confusion does quite a number, thanks to the Shadow boost. Its damage against a particular opponent goes higher with Psychic Fangs, its cheapest move that baits shields and also guarantees a DEF debuff for the opponent. Trailblaze covers Ground and Water types, and also guarantees a self ATK buff. 👌
As such, all of Shadow Girafarig’s attacks have great synergy. While these traits are undoubtedly nice, this Pokémon is more reliant on limited offensive coverage. Also, its stats aren't notable. So, Shadow Girafarig ends up being a decent pick that can get you some wins but ultimately, there are better Pokémon to use in the Great League.
With a max CP of only 2314 and average stats, Shadow Girafarig is not worth running in other PvP Leagues.
💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Girafarig are Confusion, Psychic Fangs and Trailblaze.
