FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Spheal in Pokemon GO?

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 Spheal's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Spheal takes super effective damage from Electric, Fighting, Grass, Rock. It resists Water. Ice damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Spheal's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Spheal reaches 1,088 CP at level 50 and 962 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Spheal: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Spheal?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Spheal shows 217 CP (level 8), or 357 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 550 CP, or 687 weather boosted.
How do you get Shadow Spheal in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Spheal 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 Spheal with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
