Recommended moves
- Ghost Attacker:
Shadow Claw
Sludge Bomb - Poison Attacker:
Lick *
Sludge Bomb
With an attractive ATK stat (223) that rivals most fully-evolved Starters, Shadow Haunter is theoretically viable in the ⚔️ Raids meta. Obviously, it's more suitable for lower tier Raids (even tier 3) but for higher level Raids, it's best to stick to Shadow Gengar. Regardless, dodging is compulsory with any member of the Gengar line going by how fragile they are. Consequently, don't put Shadow Haunter in 🛡️ Gyms.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Shadow Claw
Ice Punch
Shadow Ball
🔵 Great League
With stats inclined towards Attack, Shadow Haunter’s bulk takes a beating in the Great League’s CP restrictions. As such, it is unable to muster too many wins but still, it does quite a number in whatever time it persists on the battlefield, making it a scary threat.
🟡 Ultra League
By maxing out at only 2219 CP, Shadow Haunter is not good enough for the Ultra League. Besides, its fragility continues to haunt this Pokémon.
