Shadow Diglett in the meta
PvE Analysis
Shadow Diglett has low ATK and even lower bulk, making it completely unsuitable for Raid battles and Gyms defense.
PvP Analysis
🧸 Little Cup
Shadow Diglett hits hard, gets good coverage, and looks to dominate in the Little Cup… only if its bulk wasn't too low by default. With the Shadow form’s high ATK and nerf to DEF, this Pokémon can barely take hits. It beats Bronzor and Deino, which is impressive but beyond a handful of wins, Shadow Diglett really can't perform well in battles.
Shadow Diglett is too weak for any other PvP League.
