Shadow Lampent has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

Attack is its highest stat (169), 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 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Fog weather — worth timing raids around.
