Shadow Mawile's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Mawile PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Mawile is neither able to do reasonable damage nor take any hits in PvE.

⚔️ Raids - There are far better Steel and Fairy types to use in Raids. A bummer, since Mawile’s Steel/Fairy typing gives Dragon Pokémon nightmares 😬

🛡️ Gyms - Not good enough to justify a place in the Gym 🙅‍♀️

Shadow Mawile PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Mawile has a host of juicy moves to use in PvP, giving it jaw-dropping flexibility while being blessed with a stellar type combination 🫡

Fairy Wind is overall the best Fast Move due to STAB and superior energy gains, helping to use Iron Head, Power-Up Punch, or Play Rough efficiently 💪

All this gives it great potential, but it is held back by its underwhelming stats.

🔵 Great League - Shadow Mawile is a top Pokémon to make quick work of Dragon, Fairy, and Dark types in this meta 😁

Basically, it does what it's supposed to do, that too with remarkable efficiency. It also grabs notable wins like Azumarill, Oranguru, and Ariados, making it a favorable pick 😎

But in the long run, its poor stats prevent it from being a big deal.

🟡 Ultra League - Its stats aren't good enough for the Ultra League 😕

🟣 Master League - It can't even hurt Dragons, forget about using Shadow Mawile here 😛
