      Shadow Seel in the meta

      Shadow Seel in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Shadow Seel doesn't get a strong enough boost to its ATK that would place it in the Raids meta. As a Gym defender, its bulk is even lower with the Shadow nerf, making it poor for this role.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Seel is among the best Pokémon in the Little League meta, but Shadow Seel is a literal fall from grace. The loss in bulk makes Shadow Seel lose important matchups like Altaria, Chansey, Igglybuff, Wigglytuff, Shelmet, Nidoqueen, Golbat, Drifloon, and Swampert. Honestly, while Seel is one of the best pickups for these battles, Shadow Seel is best left resting in your collection.

      With a max CP of only 1098, Shadow Seel is unviable for any other PvP League.
