FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Electrode in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Electrode's best moveset is Tackle with Hyper Beam. Tackle is a legacy move: a regular TM never rolls it, so it takes an Elite TM or the event that brings it back.
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 Electrode's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Electrode takes super effective damage from Ground. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel.
What is Shadow Electrode's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Electrode reaches 2,373 CP at level 50 and 2,099 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Electrode: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Electrode?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Electrode shows 473 CP (level 8), or 779 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,199 CP, or 1,499 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Electrode in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Electrode 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 3,000 Stardust and 3 Candy and turns it into a regular Electrode with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
