Shadow Dugtrio's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Dugtrio PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

With very mediocre stats and an inefficient moveset, Shadow Dugtrio is a forgotten Pokémon for anything PvE, be it ⚔️ Raids or 🛡️ Gyms.

Shadow Dugtrio PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

There's absolutely nothing noteworthy about Shadow Dugtrio in PvP. It beats a few Pokémon that it's expected to win, and is very frail in other situations. If you're looking for a good Ground Pokémon, use Stunfisk, Shadow Marowak, or Shadow Gliscor instead.

With a max CP of only 1772, Shadow Dugtrio is a bad choice for the Ultra and Master League.
