PvE Analysis

Close

As the base of a three-stage evolution line, Shadow Fletchling has lowly stats that don't help even with the Shadow boost. Keep this bird out of Raids and Gyms, and focus on evolving it all the way to Talonflame.

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Fletchling is a neat addition to the Little Cup meta, packing extra power in its spammy moveset of Quick Attack and Aerial Ace, and the powerful Fly. This makes it deadly in both shielded and unshielded scenarios, though it struggles against hard-hitting Fast Moves like Confusion, Bite, and Dragon Tail.

It's a great attacker overall, practically just behind Shadow Ducklett in Flying-type offense. 🪽

Shadow Fletchling is too weak for any other PvP League.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Fletchling are Quick Attack, Fly and Aerial Ace.
