Is Shadow Electivire good in Pokemon GO?

Situational

Power up	Stardust	Candy	XL Candy
Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

Tier B at rank #11 makes Shadow Electivire a useful Electric-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Electric bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.

Attack is its highest stat (249), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.
