Trainer Tips
Anorith is a Rock/Bug-type Pokemon with a stat total of 404. With its high Attack stat (176), Anorith is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.
Watch out for Rock, Steel, Water-type moves when using Anorith. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Anorith's performance.
Anorith's moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Verdict
Collector's Pick
Anorith is a Rock/Bug-type Pokemon with base stats of 176/100/128 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,729. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Anorith may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Anorith deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
