Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Shadow Loudred in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Loudred has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Shadow Loudred for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Shadow Loudred's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Loudred is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Shadow Loudred resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Shadow Loudred effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Shadow Loudred's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Loudred's maximum CP is 1,500 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,327 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Shadow Loudred's CP is calculated from its base stats: 134 Attack, 81 Defense, and 197 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Loudred?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Shadow Loudred has the following CP at key levels: 569 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 758 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 948 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,500 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Shadow Loudred, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Shadow Loudred ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
