Shadow Magmortar's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Magmortar PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Magmortar is quite strong, dealing DPS higher than Blast Burn Blaziken and Darmanitan, and marginally behind Reshiram. While this doesn't exactly make it good enough for Raids of Tier 5 or Mega calibre, Shadow Magmortar is a good choice for lower levels, such as Tier 1 and Tier 3 battles. In comparison with Blaziken, keep in mind that the latter is much easier to power up and max out, and even has a Mega Evolution. So invest your resources wisely, going with Shadows only if they are top-notch. The Shadow nerf isn't kind to the already fragile Magmortar, making it terrible for Gym defense.

Shadow Magmortar PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

An improvement over the regular version, Shadow Magmortar blasts through Aegislash, Dewgong, Empoleon, and Wigglytuff (not beaten by regular Magmortar). However, despite the higher damage output bringing it more wins, it's still pretty fragile overall and as a result, goes down to around 3/4th of the meta.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Magmortar is extremely disappointing in the Ultra League because of its low bulk and lack of viable moves. It goes down to almost everything it faces and there is not a single reason to go with this Pokémon. If you’re eager to use a strong Fire-type Shadow, go with Shadow Typhlosion instead.

🟣 Master League

The Master League is the last place you want to bring Shadow Magmortar. Keep it for lower tier Raid battles.
