FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Snorlax in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Snorlax's best moveset is Zen Headbutt with Skull Bash. A TM rerolls at random among its 2 fast and 7 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.
What are Shadow Snorlax's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Snorlax takes super effective damage from Fighting. Ghost damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Snorlax's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Snorlax reaches 3,647 CP at level 50 and 3,225 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Snorlax: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Snorlax?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Snorlax shows 727 CP (level 8), or 1,198 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,843 CP, or 2,304 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Snorlax in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Snorlax 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 5,000 Stardust and 5 Candy and turns it into a regular Snorlax with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
