FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Omanyte in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Omanyte's best moveset is Water Gun with Brine. Brine 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 Omanyte's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Omanyte takes super effective damage from Grass, Electric, Fighting, Ground. Grass is a double weakness (2.56×). It resists Flying, Ice, Normal, Poison. Fire damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Omanyte's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Omanyte reaches 1,746 CP at level 50 and 1,544 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Omanyte: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Omanyte?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Omanyte shows 348 CP (level 8), or 573 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 882 CP, or 1,103 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Omanyte in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Omanyte 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. It cannot be traded or Mega Evolved. Purifying it costs 5,000 Stardust and 5 Candy and turns it into a regular Omanyte with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
