Shadow Diggersby's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Diggersby PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

This Normal/Ground-type rabbit better stay underground as it doesn’t make any form of impact in PvE. 🥲

⚔️ Raids

The Normal-type doesn’t hold any value in Raids, and even as a Ground-type Pokémon, Shadow Diggersby isn’t strong enough to deal significant damage.

🛡️ Gyms

With its bulk reduced by the Shadow effect, you’d be better off using regular Diggersby instead. 🐰

Shadow Diggersby PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Diggersby was popularly known as the "Great League Groudon" due to its similar moveset of Mud Shot, Fire Punch, and Earthquake. 🙂

Over time, Diggersby received moveset upgrades and remains a force to be reckoned with thanks to its tankiness. But what does the Shadow version bring? Unfortunately, it loses bulk and is a visible downgrade. 😓

🔵 Great League

With Shadow Diggersby compromising on the factor that makes Diggersby special (its bulk), you're better off using the regular one instead. 🫠

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Diggersby barely goes over 1500 CP, making it useless in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

The Master League is left to brutes like Groudon, not Shadow Diggersby. 😅
