Marshadow's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Marshadow PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Marshadow boasts an incredible ATK stat of 265 and decent bulk, but its potential is tainted by a disappointing moveset. 🫣

👉 As a Fighting-type, Counter is useful, but it needs something better than Close Combat. Note that Marshadow learns the powerful Aura Sphere in the mainline games. If added to Pokémon GO, it would greatly improve its viability.

👉 As a Ghost-type, it lacks any Ghost-type moves in Pokémon GO. However, Marshadow’s signature move, Spectral Thief, is a Ghost-type attack, and it can also learn Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. The potential is there—it just needs the right moves added to its movepool.

⚔️ Raids

It’s an outclassed Fighting-type attacker and a non-existent Ghost-type attacker. There are far better options to use. 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

Other than Meltan and Melmetal, no other Mythical Pokémon is allowed in Pokémon GO Gyms.

Marshadow PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Too high a CP for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Use Annihilape instead.

🟣 Master League

Fighting-types already struggle in the Master League due to the extensive presence of Fairy, Flying, and Psychic Pokémon. 👀

Regardless, Marshadow holds its own thanks to its strong and diverse PvP moveset. While it obviously loses to the threats mentioned above, it scores impressive wins against White Kyurem, Landorus Therian, Zygarde Complete, Dialga Origin, Dialga, Rhyperior, Kyogre, Melmetal, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Dragonite, and Excadrill.

This list is solid enough to justify using Marshadow in your Master League team—just be smart with your switch-ins and switch-outs to maximize its potential. 📈
