    Shadow Seel's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

    Read meta analysis

    Shadow Seel PvE 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.

    Shadow Seel PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:WaterWater GunWaterAqua TailIceIcy Wind

    🧸 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.
