FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Gigalith in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Gigalith's best moveset is Lock On with Meteor Beam, worth 28.7 DPS as a Rock-type raid attacker. Meteor Beam 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 Gigalith's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Gigalith takes super effective damage from Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, Water. It resists Fire, Flying, Normal, Poison.
What is Shadow Gigalith's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Gigalith reaches 3,650 CP at level 50 and 3,228 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Gigalith: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Gigalith?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Gigalith shows 727 CP (level 8), or 1,199 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,844 CP, or 2,306 weather boosted.
Is Shadow Gigalith better than regular Gigalith?
In raids, yes: Shadow Gigalith deals 28.7 DPS (#3 Rock) against 24.4 DPS (#10 Rock) for the regular form. It pays for that with 20% more damage taken, so it faints sooner. See Gigalith.

Shadow Gigalith 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.
