Shadow Gigalith's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Shadow Gigalith PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Gigalith boasts high damage output, placing it behind only Shadow Rampardos and Shadow Rhyperior in terms of DPS! 🥉

Its bulk is also decent even after the Shadow nerf, and with Smack Down and Meteor Beam, it can do quite a number in PvE battles. 🔥

To put it into perspective, it edges past Rampardos in terms of damage figures while also packing more bulk. 💪 If you have the resources, it’s worth powering up!

⚔️ Raids – Rock types are highly coveted Raid counters as they deal super-effective damage to Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types.

Shadow Gigalith does this job really well! 😁

🛡️ Gyms – Shadow Rock types aren’t worth putting in Gyms as they go down easily.

Shadow Gigalith PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Gigalith looks menacing, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to expectations in PvP. 🥲

🔵 Great League – An awkward defensive profile that takes an additional beating due to the Shadow nerf makes this format particularly difficult for Shadow Gigalith. 🤕

🟡 Ultra League – The situation is the same as in the Great League, with numerous exploitable weaknesses making it hardly viable.

🟣 Master League – Shadow Gigalith can deal some respectable damage in the Master League, scoring wins against Metagross, Dialga, and Dusk Mane Necrozma with Mud-Slap, Superpower, and Meteor Beam. 😯

That said, it can’t do much beyond that, and this anti-Steel niche alone doesn’t justify a spot on your Master League team.
