FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Persian in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Persian's best moveset is Scratch with Payback. A TM rerolls at random among its 2 fast and 4 charged non-legacy moves.
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 Persian's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Persian takes super effective damage from Fighting. Ghost damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Persian's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Persian reaches 1,910 CP at level 50 and 1,689 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Persian: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Persian?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Persian shows 380 CP (level 8), or 627 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 965 CP, or 1,206 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Persian in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Persian 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 3,000 Stardust and 3 Candy and turns it into a regular Persian with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
