      Shadow Snivy in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Shadow Snivy suffers from low ATK, and its bulk is further diminished due to the Shadow nerf, making it unworthy in PvE. 😶

      ⚔️ Raids

      The Shadow ATK boost does little to improve its already poor offense. Leave it on the bench.

      🛡️ Gyms

      Shadow Pokémon are difficult to place in Gyms, and Snivy's low stats make it a lost cause. 👎
