PvE Analysis

Shadow Helioptile PvE Analysis

Close

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Helioptile is an Electric and Normal-type Shadow Pokémon and the pre-evolution of Heliolisk. As with almost every Pokémon that haven’t reached their final stages yet, there’s no reason to use Helioptile over its evolution or any other Pokémon with far better stat products.

PvP Analysis

Shadow Helioptile PvP Analysis

Close

With a max CP of 1024, Helioptile is not fit for any of three main leagues. Even in the 500 CP Little Cup format, Helioptile already does not perform particularly well, and its shadow variant performs even worse. This is because Pokémon already have very little HP and faint very quickly in the Little Cup, and the shadow bonus makes an already frail Helioptile even more frail.
