What is Shadow Shinx's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Shinx reaches 990 CP at level 50 and 876 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Shinx: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Shinx?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Shinx shows 197 CP (level 8), or 325 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 500 CP, or 625 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Shinx in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Shinx 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.
