Shadow Lampent's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Lampent PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Tainted with mediocre stats in two highly aggressive metas (Ghost and Fire), Shadow Lampent is unfortunately not worthwhile for both Raid battles and Gym defense.

Shadow Lampent PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Ember not only charges up energy super quickly, but also does a lot of damage from the Shadow boost. Also, both its best Charged Attacks (Heat Wave and Energy Ball) are very cheap (only 45 energy) for Ember, and hit hard. This helps it get a large number of wins, and its low bulk is its own limiting quality. Some of its notable wins are Empoleon, Seismitoad, Seaking, and Feraligatr (both regular and Shadow).

With a max CP of only 1931, Shadow Lampent isn't suitable for the higher PvP Leagues.
