Shaymin (Sky) is a solid but not elite Grass-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#15) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,061 and base stats of 261/166/225, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Grass-type counters. The best moveset is Magical Leaf paired with Grass Knot. Consider investing if you need a Grass-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
