Verdict

Shadow Mismagius is a solid but not elite Grass-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#29) in raid performance. With a max CP of 2,957 and base stats of 211/187/155, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Grass-type counters. The best moveset is Magical Leaf paired with Shadow Ball. Consider investing if you need a Grass-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
