FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Typhlosion in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Typhlosion's best moveset is Ember with Blast Burn, worth 25.6 DPS as a Fire-type raid attacker. Blast Burn is a legacy move: a regular TM never rolls it, so it takes an Elite TM or the event that brings it back.
In Ultra League the set changes to Ember with Overheat.
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 Typhlosion's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Typhlosion takes super effective damage from Ground, Rock, Water. It resists Bug, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Ice, Steel.
What is Shadow Typhlosion's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Typhlosion reaches 3,266 CP at level 50 and 2,889 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Typhlosion: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
Is Shadow Typhlosion good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Typhlosion ranks #27 in Great League (Tier A, 68.23% simulated win rate) and #23 in Ultra League (Tier S, 70.21% simulated win rate).
The best IVs for Ultra League are 0/15/14: less Attack keeps the CP down, which buys extra levels of Defense and HP under the cap.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Typhlosion?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Typhlosion shows 651 CP (level 8), or 1,073 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,651 CP, or 2,064 weather boosted.
Is Shadow Typhlosion better than regular Typhlosion?
Only the Shadow form makes the raid rankings: Shadow Typhlosion is #18 among Fire-type attackers at 25.6 DPS, while regular Typhlosion is unranked. See Typhlosion.
How do you get Shadow Typhlosion in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Typhlosion 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 Typhlosion with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
