FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Porygon2 in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Porygon2's best moveset is Lock On with Hyper Beam, worth 22.1 DPS as a Normal-type raid attacker. A TM rerolls at random among its 3 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.

Shadow Porygon2 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.
