Verdict

Niche PvP Pick
Meganium doesn't stand out as a raid attacker but has a place in PvP, ranked #16 (Tier B) in Great League with a 70.68% overall win rate. With base stats of 168/202/190 and a max CP of 2,725, its stat distribution favors bulk, which is ideal for PvP formats. Run Razor Leaf with Frenzy Plant for best results. Consider building one if you enjoy using it, but there are stronger PvP options in this league.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Meganium 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.
