⚔️ Raids

Even in its shadow form, Ralts is still the first of a three-stage evolutionary line and has pretty low stats overall. As such, there’s no reason to use Ralts over the many many other options in its Psychic or Fairy-type category.

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Ralts has a max CP of 609 and matching stats. As such, it isn’t really usable in the Great, Ultra or Master League formats. However, it has its place in the 500 CP Little Cup format. It has pretty good HP for the format and the shadow bonus makes its Confusions hit really hard. However, it does get overpowered by A LOT of the main Little Cup meta including Bronzor, Deino, Gligar, Seel, and Ducklett.

Though if you can position it right or use it in limited Little Cup formats you can really make use of its surprise factor and very solid fast attack damage.
