      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      With poor stats that hardly get any better with the Shadow boost to ATK, Shadow Grotle is completely unviable for Raids. Needless to say, its lowered DEF makes it more difficult to survive in Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Shadow Grotle punishes Water, Ground, and Rock types with a hard-hitting Fast Move whose damage gets amplified thanks to the Shadow bonus and the relatively spammy nature of Body Slam. In fact, this extra damage helps it take down Shadow Annihilape and Florges, two targets it can't hit without the Shadow add-on.

      With a max CP of only 2137, Shadow Grotle is inadequate for the Ultra and Master League.
