FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Slaking in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Slaking's best moveset is Yawn with Earthquake. Only the charged move can be rerolled (3 options); Yawn is its one fast move.
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 Slaking's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Slaking takes super effective damage from Fighting. Ghost damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Slaking's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Slaking reaches 5,010 CP at level 50 and 4,431 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Slaking: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Slaking?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Slaking shows 999 CP (level 8), or 1,646 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 2,532 CP, or 3,165 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Slaking in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Slaking 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 Slaking with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
