Is Shadow Mamoswine good in Pokemon GO?

Worth powering up

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

Shadow Mamoswine is a Tier A Ground-type attacker at rank #8, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.

Attack is its highest stat (247), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
