Recommended moves

• Ghost Attacker:LickNight Shade
• Poison Attacker:LickSludge Bomb

Gastly actually has a higher ATK than most base Pokémon of a three-stage evolution line but even with the Shadow boost, the damage output is not enough to grant it a place in the Raids meta, especially when top Ghost Pokémon have very high ATK stats.

Its DEF of only 67 is its worst stat and makes Shadow Gastly useless for Gym defense.

PvP Analysis

Shadow Gastly hits 527 CP at Level 15, making the Little Cup variant very weak. In addition, it maxes out at only 1390 CP, making the Great League a missed opportunity as well.
