- 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.
- Shadow Wartortle deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.
