FAQ
What is the best moveset for Shadow Weavile in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Weavile's best moveset is Ice Shard with Avalanche, worth 25.1 DPS as a Ice-type raid attacker. A TM rerolls at random among its 3 fast and 4 charged non-legacy moves.
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 Weavile's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Weavile takes super effective damage from Fighting, Bug, Fairy, Fire, Rock, Steel. Fighting is a double weakness (2.56×). It resists Dark, Ghost, Ice. Psychic damage is double resisted (0.39×).
What is Shadow Weavile's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Weavile reaches 3,397 CP at level 50 and 3,005 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Weavile: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Weavile?
After a Team GO Rocket battle a 15/15/15 Shadow Weavile shows 677 CP (level 8), or 1,116 CP when weather boosted (level 13). From a Shadow Raid it is 1,717 CP, or 2,146 weather boosted.
Is Shadow Weavile better than regular Weavile?
In raids, yes: Shadow Weavile deals 25.1 DPS (#5 Ice) against 21.1 DPS (#13 Ice) for the regular form. It pays for that with 20% more damage taken, so it faints sooner. See Weavile.
How do you get Shadow Weavile in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Weavile 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 Weavile with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
