Shadow Shiinotic's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Shadow Shiinotic PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Shiinotic is a Grass and Fairy-type Shadow Pokémon and the evolved form of Morelull. To be completely blunt, the shadow bonus does nothing for Shiinotic. Its stats are already so middle of the road and its movepool is so shallow that many other Pokémon in its type category vastly outperform it as raid attackers.

Shadow Shiinotic PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Shadow Shiinotic’s performance can best be described as a side-grade to Shiinotic’s regular performance. It earns wins against certain meta Pokémon while losing others. Though the overall performance is slightly worse in even shields. Shiinotic’s middle-of-the-road stats and limited move pool prevents it from being a good Pokémon for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of 2104 and rather disappointing stat total to boost, Shadow Shiinotic does not perform well in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 2104, Shadow Shiinotic is too weak for the legendary dominated Master League.
