PvE Analysis

Shadow Carvanha PvE Analysis

Close

Shadow Carvanha is not a PvE Pokémon by any means, sporting a meager ATK that keeps it from being a viable Raid attacker and a pathetic DEF (only 39) which makes it terrible for Gyms.

• Little Cup:BiteAqua JetPoison Fang

🧸 Little Cup

With a hard-hitting STAB Fast Move in Bite, and cheap energy, Shadow Carvanha is a decent pick for the Little Cup. It can beat Wooper, Barboach, Swinub, Bronzor, Drifloon, and even the formidable duo of Igglybuff and Seel, both of which it can't beat as a regular Carvanha. It, however, loses to all premier Dark types in the format. It does best with shields and can put quite a lot of pressure with Bite.

Shadow Carvanha is unviable for any other PvP platform.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Carvanha are Bite, Aqua Jet and Poison Fang.
