      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Even in the main series games, all Abra does is teleport itself to safety. That's exactly that Shadow Abra should do when put in a Raid battle or Gym.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      With an ATK stat of 195, Abra has one of the highest offensive numbers for a Pokémon that maxes out at only 1517 CP. The Shadow boost pushes the ATK even further, making this Pokémon one of the most fragile entries to this format. Besides, it doesn't even have decent PvP Fast Moves.

      All these traits make Shadow Abra completely unviable in PvP, so focus only on evolving it all the way to Shadow Alakazam.
