🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Swablu is a nice pick for the Little Cup, taking advantage of the buffed Peck to disarm the likes of Vullaby, Chansey, Wooper, Igglybuff, and Skarmory. However, it is unable to beat other top threats like Ducklett, Wynaut, Deino, Dratini, Bronzor, Seel, and Swinub, limiting its usage.

Shadow Swablu is too weak for any other PvP platform.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Swablu are Peck, Disarming Voice and Aerial Ace.
