Mediocre stats humble Shadow Skorupi pretty quickly in the Raids meta. Its bulk isn't good either, and the Shadow effect actually makes it worse. So, no Gyms for this Pokémon as well.

• Great League:InfestationAqua TailCross Poison

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Skorupi is among the most dominant Pokémon in the Little Cup. Infestation gives it high energy gains and good damage (especially with the Shadow boost), and both its Charged Attacks (Cross Poison and Aqua Tail) are 35 energy, so it just has to go with the move which gives it the highest damage against the opponent in question. Add the fact that its moves offer superb coverage against some of the top threats of the Little Cup, you have a match winner who takes down the likes of Mandibuzz, Seel, Onix, Barboach, Deino, Igglybuff, and so many more. When picking a team for this format, Shadow Skorupi should always be a priority, adding Shelmet and Walrein to its win list unlike regular Skorupi.

With a max CP of only 1141, Shadow Skorupi shouldn't be used for any other PvP League.
