Shadow Stufful is a Normal/Fighting-type Pokemon with base stats of 136/95/172 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,529. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shadow Stufful has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Shadow Stufful for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Shadow Stufful's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

What is Shadow Stufful's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Stufful's maximum CP is 1,529 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,352 at level 40.
