      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Shadow Squirtle is more inclined towards bulk than offense. In any case, its DPS values are terribly low and not enough for relevance in Raids and Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Shadow Squirtle is inferior or regular Squirtle in the Little Cup as the loss in bulk considerably hurts its prospects. Moreover, it has only Water-type moves so its coverage is also very limited. Finally, there are plenty of stronger Water Pokémon to use in this format, leaving Shadow Squirtle high and dry. 😖

      Shadow Squirtle is not viable in any other PvP platform.

      💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Squirtle are Bubble, Aqua Jet and Aqua Tail.
