Shadow Rampardos's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Rampardos PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Rampardos boasts the highest DPS of any Rock-type attacker in Pokémon GO, putting Legendaries, Megas, and other Shadows to shame. Its damage output is astronomical but on the flip side, it's more glassy than you can imagine.

⚔️ Raids

Powering up or, ideally, maxing out Shadow Rampardos is an expensive but worthwhile investment as it is the best Rock-type attacker in Pokémon GO. That said, dodging with it is mandatory to ensure maximum perks.

🛡️ Gyms

Extremely low bulk and many weaknesses make Shadow Rampardos a poor Gym defender.

Shadow Rampardos PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Rampardos is more fragile than regular Rampardos, a Pokémon that melts to even Fast Moves in battle. So, despite its massive offensive strength, Shadow Rampardos is bad for the GO Battle League.
