Shadow Geodude PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Shadow Geodude's stats are actually high for a Pokémon for the first of a three-stage evolution line, but unfortunately, they are still too low for usage in PvE battles like Raids and Gyms.

Shadow Geodude PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

While Shadow Geodude’s best moveset is limited to Rock-type moves, they offer it high damage output and impressive coverage. With this, it beats Skarmory, Wigglytuff, Chansey, Dratini, Ducklett, and prominent Bug, Fire, and Flying types. However, it doesn't have some glaring weaknesses, and is unable to beat core threats like Deino, Wynaut, and Bronzor. As such, a Bug-type partner is ideal for Shadow Geodude's Little Cup prospects.

A max CP of only 1462 makes it inadequate for other PvP Leagues. In the Great League particularly, Water Pokémon are rampant, making this format an existential crisis for poor Shadow Geodude (double-weakness to Water).

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
