Verdict

Collector's Pick
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. Shadow Stufful may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. 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

What is the best moveset for Shadow Stufful in Pokemon GO?
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?
Shadow Stufful is weak to Fairy, Fighting, Flying, Psychic-type moves. On the other hand, Shadow Stufful resists Ghost, Bug, Dark, Rock-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Shadow Stufful effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
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. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Shadow Stufful's CP is calculated from its base stats: 136 Attack, 95 Defense, and 172 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Shadow Stufful caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 772 CP, or 966 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Stufful?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Shadow Stufful has the following CP at key levels: 579 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 772 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 966 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,529 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Shadow Stufful, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Shadow Stufful ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
