🧸 Little League

It will be interesting to see whether there is a limited meta which suits Shadow Alolan Dugtrio in the future - regardless, it will be here for a good time, not a long time!

🔵 Great League

Shadow Alolan Dugtrio (aka Goldilocks) doesn’t fare much better than its non-shadow form. Unfortunately, A-Dug just doesn’t have the bulk necessary to perform consistently, although if it has shields to hide behind it can absolutely delete poison and steel types. Overall, there remain other more consistent Mud-Slappers to use for the open Great League meta.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Goldilocks doesn’t have the CP or the stats to compete against the Ultra League.
