PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
⚔️ Raids – As a pure Fire-type Pokémon, Shadow Entei can only do one thing, but it does that one thing extremely well. Shadow Entei is one of THE BEST Fire-type raid attackers. As a Legendary Pokémon, Entei already boasts a very respectable 235 Attack Stat, which is further boosted by the shadow bonus.
All of this, plus a full Fire-type moveset of Fire Spin and Overheat, makes Entei an absolute fire-type beast! As a Fire-type, Shadow Entei is a fantastic raid attacker against Bug, Steel, Grass, and Ice-types.

Scorching Sands
🔵 Great League – Shadow Entei is far too frail to perform well in the Great League. With only 96 Defense at best, it struggles to go far. To make things worse, Shadow Entei is a pure Fire-type, which makes it weak to Ground and Water-type attacks, both of which are common in PvP.
Additionally, Shadow Entei doesn’t have the best movepool for PvP. While both Fire Spin and Fire Fang can deal solid damage as Fire-type fast attacks, they don’t generate energy quickly. Shadow Entei also lacks low-energy charged attacks, leaving it with limited options in PvP. At best, Shadow Entei can decimate Pokémon weak to Fire-type moves, but that’s about it.
🟡 Ultra League – The same applies to the Ultra League, except Shadow Entei may perform even worse here because there are fewer targets for it to take advantage of.
🟣 Master League – This should be Entei’s best league, where it can fully max out its stats and be decently bulky. However, Entei has a stat total of 7322, while legendaries in the Master League can have base stat totals upwards of 10,000. Additionally, the non-shadow form of Entei performs better in the Master League than the shadow form, making Shadow Entei less favorable here as well.
