Tier B at rank #21 makes Shadow Unfezant a useful Steel-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Steel bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (226), 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 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
