Shadow Emboar's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Emboar PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Emboar is a fantastic addition to the Fire-type PvE meta, showcasing incredible DPS values! 🔥 Its low Defense is balanced somewhat by its impressive Stamina. 👍

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Emboar outclasses even top-tier Fire-type Pokémon such as Shadow Heatran, Shadow Moltres, and Blacephalon with its hard-hitting performance! 😲 It also boasts a higher TDO than Blacephalon. To maximize its potential, dodging is essential during raid battles. 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

The entire Shadow Emboar family suffers from poor Defense, making them ineffective Gym defenders. 😭

Shadow Emboar PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Ember works well for Shadow Tepig in the Little Cup because of its spammy Body Slam. Unfortunately for Shadow Emboar, it is paired with Blast Burn and Rock Slide, both of which are costly in energy and unsuitable for its fragile build. 😒

🟡 Ultra League

In the Ultra League, Shadow Emboar manages to beat Registeel and Venusaur… and that’s about it. Its overall performance is a major disappointment. 🤐

🟣 Master League

In the Master League, it’s always (Em)boar hunting season, and Shadow Emboar doesn’t stand a chance of survival. 🐗
