      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      The Shieldon line is a defensive set of Pokémon so don't expect any PvE usage out of them. That said, Shieldon is at the base level of a two-stage evolution line and its stats don't help it in Gyms as well. Moreover, its Rock/Steel typing invites two double weaknesses: Fighting and Ground. 😬

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Shieldon’s appreciable bulk make it a decent pick for the Little Cup, grabbing wins such as Shadow and regular Ducklett, Cottonee, Shelmet, and Shadow Stunky. However, its ATK is pretty low and the attackset doesn't have too much variety, leaving it in a losing predicament against the Little Cup’s best Pokémon (Deino, Wooper, Wynaut, Bronzor, and Gligar). Just evolve it for the Great League. 🙂

      💎 Shieldon’s best attacks for the Little Cup are Tackle, Ancient Power, and Heavy Slam.
