Best Shadow attackers in-game (2026)
The best Shadow attackers are Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Rayquaza, Shadow Tyranitar, Shadow Metagross, Shadow Machamp, and Shadow Salamence.
Shadow mons get a +20% Attack boost at the cost of -20% Defense. For raid DPS, this is a massive gain — Shadow forms dominate the raid attacker tier list across nearly every type.
Trade-off: lower bulk means more dodging required, or more potions burned. Shadows are best for short Tier 5 raids where survival matters less than burst damage.
Which of these do you already have?
Hundo Hunter scans your storage and shows the IVs and functional hundos for every mon you have caught, so you can see which of these you can already power up instead of hunting for new ones.
