    Shadow Mankey's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

    Read meta analysis

    Shadow Mankey PvE Analysis

    Shadow Mankey's ATK is higher than most Pokémon at the base of a three-stage evolution line. Still, it's nowhere as good as required for even a decent level of play in Raids. Its DEF is lower than even 100, so there's no expectations from it in Gyms as well.

    Shadow Mankey PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:FightingKarate ChopFightingCross ChopFightingBrick Break

    🧸 Little Cup

    A Level 16 Shadow Mankey of IVs 6/14/15 hits exactly 500 CP, and it wreaks havoc in the Little Cup with its barrage of Fighting-type attacks. Despite six types resisting Shadow Mankey's attacks, it takes out more than half of the meta, including Chinchou and Shadow Vulpix. Other than Deino, Shadow Mankey struggles against Altaria and also Dratini.

    The Shadow is an upgrade over the regular variant, beating everything the latter does plus more such as Bulbasaur, Mandibuzz, and Seel. However, the Shadow narrowly loses to Scrafty.

    With a max CP of only 1317, Shadow Mankey performs poorly in the Great League, and is unsuitable for the higher PvP Leagues.
