Shadow Carvanha in the meta
PvE Analysis
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.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Little League:
Bite
Aqua Jet
Poison 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.
