Moveset analysis
In Great League it runs Ember and Overheat. In Ultra League it runs Ember and Overheat. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Incinerate (12.8 DPS); Ember builds energy fastest (10 EPS). Blast Burn is an Elite TM move and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Shadow Typhlosion does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier S spot at #23 in Ultra League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.
- Attack is its highest stat (223), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 5 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny weather — worth timing raids around.
