Shadow Shelmet in the meta
PvE Analysis
A lowly 72 ATK and an underwhelming moveset cancel Shadow Shelmet’s usage in PvE.
⚔️ Raids – ❌
🛡️ Gyms – This helmet offers no protection. 🪖
PvP Analysis
🧸 Little Cup – Shadow Shelmet is extremely good in the Little Cup, picking up a host of wins against some of the meta’s biggest threats, including Bulbasaur, Wooper, Scrafty, Wynaut, Deino, and more! 💯
It’s pretty bulky for the Little Cup and has a spammy moveset of Infestation, Body Slam, and Bug Buzz. Ultimately, you have a legitimate match winner! 🏆
🔵 Great League – Bad.
🟡 Ultra League – Even worse.
🟣 Master League – Very bad. 😭
