- Bulk-leaning spread (171 Defense / 251 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Entei deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather — worth timing raids around.
