    Shadow Pignite in the meta

    PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

    Recommended moves

    Shadow Pignite fails to ignite any relevance in the PvE meta, burdened by a poor moveset and lackluster stats, just like Shadow Tepig.

    ⚔️ Raids

    There’s no justification for picking Shadow Pignite over other Fire-type Pokémon in the game. 🥲

    🛡️ Gyms

    With extremely low Defense, Shadow Pignite is utterly ineffective as a Gym defender. ☹️

    PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    🔵 Great League

    Shadow Pignite brings nothing to the table in the Great League, suffering from poor stats and a bad moveset. Unsurprisingly, it hardly gets any wins in this league. 🫠

    🟡 Ultra League

    The same disappointing story continues in the Ultra League, but its performance actually gets worse. Shadow Pignite is best kept far away from PvP battles. 😬

    🟣 Master League

    Bringing Shadow Pignite into the Master League is nothing short of disastrous—it’s the final nail in the coffin. 😶
