Shadow Trapinch in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Ground Attacker:
Sand Attack
Sand Tomb
Not surprisingly, Shadow Trapinch is not built for PvE, completely devoid of the tools necessary for Raids and Gym defense.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Sand Attack
Sand Tomb
Crunch
🧸 Little Cup
A poor DEF and a complete lack of coverage make Shadow Trapinch a poor addition to the Little League meta. It is not viable for any other PvP League.
