    Shadow Braixen PvE Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Fire Attacker:FireEmberFireFlamethrower

    Be it stats or a strong moveset, Shadow Braixen lacks both. So there's no point using it in ⚔️ Raids or putting it up for 🛡️ Gym defense.

    Shadow Braixen PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:FireEmberPsychicPsyshockFireFlame Charge

    🔵 Great League

    Shadow Braixen is an underwhelming Pokémon for PvP as it doesn't have a strong Charged Move that could seal the deal against the bulky threats of the Great League. Besides, with the widespread presence of Water, Ghost, and Dark types in this format, and with nothing spectacular to distinguish Shadow Braixen as a Fire or Psychic type, it hardly gets any wins overall.

    Shadow Braixen maxes out at 2049 CP, making it poor for the Ultra and Master League.
