      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Spheal is at the very base of a three-stage evolution line and it doesn't have even a reasonable ATK in the first place (doesn't even touch 100). As such, the Shadow boost does it absolutely no favors and leaves it unusable for PvE battles like ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Regular Spheal is quite strong in the Little League but sadly, Shadow Spheal is a downgrade due to loss in bulk (this Pokémon best stat). It is unable to beat Wigglytuff, Igglybuff, Skorupi, Swampert, and Shelmet, all of which regular Spheal wins against.

      Shadow Spheal isn't usable in any other PvP platform.
