FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Bidoof in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Bidoof's best moveset is Tackle with Grass Knot. A TM rerolls at random among its 2 fast and 3 charged non-legacy moves.
It is caught knowing Frustration, which only comes off with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket Takeover event — do that before spending Stardust on it.
What are Shadow Bidoof's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Bidoof takes super effective damage from Fighting. Ghost damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Bidoof's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Bidoof reaches 815 CP at level 50 and 721 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Bidoof: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Bidoof?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Bidoof shows 162 CP (level 8), or 268 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 412 CP, or 515 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Bidoof in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Bidoof is rescued after beating Team GO Rocket, or caught from a Shadow Raid — which Grunts, Leaders and raids carry it changes with every Rocket rotation. It cannot be traded or Mega Evolved. Purifying it costs 1,000 Stardust and 1 Candy and turns it into a regular Bidoof with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
