FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Rhyperior in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Rhyperior's best moveset is Smack Down with Rock Wrecker, worth 25.7 DPS as a Rock-type raid attacker. Rock Wrecker 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 Rhyperior's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Rhyperior takes super effective damage from Grass, Water, Fighting, Ground, Ice, Steel. Grass, Water is a double weakness (2.56×). It resists Fire, Flying, Normal, Rock. Electric, Poison damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Rhyperior's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Rhyperior reaches 4,221 CP at level 50 and 3,733 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Rhyperior: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Rhyperior?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Rhyperior shows 841 CP (level 8), or 1,387 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 2,133 CP, or 2,667 weather boosted.
Is Shadow Rhyperior better than regular Rhyperior?
In raids, yes: Shadow Rhyperior deals 25.7 DPS (#6 Rock) against 21.4 DPS (#23 Rock) for the regular form. It pays for that with 20% more damage taken, so it faints sooner. See Rhyperior.
How do you get Shadow Rhyperior in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Rhyperior 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 Rhyperior with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
