Shadow Fomantis's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shadow Fomantis PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Fomantis is a pure Grass type Pokémon. Its low Attack stat and limited Max CP of 838 leave it with no meta relevance, making it mostly a Pokédex entry.

🛡️ Gyms

First stage Pokémon usually lack the stats to defend Gyms and Shadow Fomantis is no exception.

Shadow Fomantis PvP Analysis

🔵 Great League

Shadow Fomantis with just a max CP of 838 is underpowered for Great League. It should ideally be evolved into Lurantis.

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Fomantis has ideal stats and moveset to do well in Little Cup. It has a positive win-loss record in zero and 1v1 shield scenarios. But with the Little Cup falling out of favor in GBL, the meta relevance of Shadow Fomantis also takes a nose dive.
