Shadow Gligar PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow or not, Gligar remains a completely unviable Pokémon for PvE battles like ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms.

Shadow Gligar PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Gligar itself is a superb inclusion to the Great League thanks to its bulk and moveset, and Shadow Gligar is actually better, adding some extra oomph to its offensive strength. Unlike regular Gligar, the Shadow also beats Altaria, Cradily, Sableye, Swampert, and Lickilicky. On the other hand, it loses Shadow Swampert and Gastrodon. In case it gets the ATK boost from Night Slash, Shadow Gligar gets more terrifying regardless of the shield scenario.

Shadow Gligar is totally worth the investment when it comes to usage in the Great League!

Shadow Gligar's max CP is only 2099, making it unsuitable for the Ultra and Master League.
