Editor's notes

As a Ice/Water-type Pokémon, Shadow Sealeo takes extra damage from Electric, Fighting, Grass and Rock attacks, while resisting Ice and Water.

Knowing that shapes how you use it: lean on its Ice/Water moves where they hit hard, and bench it against its weaknesses. It caps at 1,938 CP.

Power up	Stardust	Candy	XL Candy
Lv 20 → 40	135,000	15	—

Shadow Sealeo has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
