Recommended moves

• Grass Attacker:Bullet SeedLeaf Blade

Shadow Grovyle is a fun addition to beat 1-Star Raids and weak Gyms, as its snappy Bullet Seed and Leaf Blade combo can wreak havoc in these situations — especially because of the Shadow boost. And let's not talk about Gym defense, as Grass is an underwhelming defensive type, with Shadow Grovyle having low bulk as a disadvantage. 😭

Other than these applications, Shadow Grovyle doesn't find any use in the Pokémon GO PvE meta. 🙃

🔵 Great League

Shadow Grovyle’s bulk is such a concern that opponents can use this Pokémon to farm energy for their Charged Moves, while Shadow Grovyle's HP is cut down to size by Fast Move damage. 😮‍💨

Sad state of affairs, so best to avoid adding this Pokémon to your PvP teams. 🥲

With a max CP of only 1891, Shadow Grovyle should be kept away from the Ultra and Master League by all means.
