Tier B at rank #10 makes Shadow Weavile a useful Dark-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Dark bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (243), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 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 Fog and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
