Shadow Porygon2's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Porygon2 PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Porygon2, as a Normal-type, can’t hit anything for STAB super-effective damage. It’s best to stick to true counters.

🛡️ Gyms

Shadow Porygon2 can hang around in gyms for a moment and might surprise opponents with a Zap Cannon, but it won’t put up much of a fight for you.

Shadow Porygon2 PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Porygon2’s preferred moveset is Lock On, Tri-Attack, and Zap Cannon.

🔵 Great League

Shadow Porygon2 performs slightly better overall than the non-shadow version. It has the ability to rapidly reach its charged moves thanks to Lock On and can be quite pesky if it gets debuffs with Tri-Attack. Although it is held back by its frailty, the shadow boost means you’re very likely to draw shields from opponents due to the threat of serious damage output.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Porygon2 performs overall about the same as the non-shadow version, which is ok, but not amazing. It can perform well in certain scenarios in the hands of experienced battlers in the Ultra League, thanks to its ability to smash the ever-present Water types with super effective Zap Cannon. However, its lack of bulk continues to hold it back in terms of consistency, and this issue isn’t helped by its shadow form.
