PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Ice Attacker:
Ice Shard
Avalanche - Ground Attacker:
Powder Snow
High Horsepower
Shadow Piloswine is your typical awkward middle-stage Pokémon whose stats aren't good enough for PvE functionality. So, instead of dropping it in Gyms or taking it to Raids, focus on collecting Candy to evolve it into Shadow Mamoswine ASAP. ⏰
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Powder Snow
Icicle Spear
Stone Edge - Ultra League:
Powder Snow
Avalanche
Icicle Spear
🔵 Great League
Shadow Piloswine is a dominant force in the Great League using its completely unresisted combo of Ice and Ground type attacks to beat most of the meta. Because of its excellent coverage, its bound to leave the opponent with a good portion of its HP lost, tremendously benefiting the next Pokémon you use. ✅
🟡 Ultra League
Shadow Piloswine is unable to keep with the sheer power levels of the Ultra League with its weaknesses to Fighting, Fire, Grass, Water, and Steel becoming easily exploitable. It can't even beat Giratina Altered and Registeel, leaving players with better choices for their teams.
🟣 Master League
The Master League isn't Shadow Piloswine’s playing field.
💎 Shadow Piloswine’s best attackset for PvP is Powder Snow, Icicle Spear and High Horsepower.
