Shadow Throh has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.

  • Bulk-leaning spread (160 Defense / 260 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
  • A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
  • Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.
