what's actually worth your time / candy
From August 5th to September 8th, trainers can challenge Shadow Giratina (Altered Forme) in Shadow Raids. This Ghost/Dragon-type mon is a formidable foe, but is it worth your precious raid passes? Let's dive into the data.
As a Ghost/Dragon type, Giratina (Altered Forme) is weak to Ice, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy attacks. For Ice, consider White Kyurem, Shadow Articuno, or Glaceon. Top Ghost counters include Dawn Wings Necrozma, Mega Gengar, and Origin Giratina. For Dragon, Mega Rayquaza, Origin Palkia, and Mega Garchomp are excellent. Dark-type attackers like Mega Weavile, Mega Tyranitar, and Yveltal will deal significant damage. Finally, Fairy types such as Crowned Sword Zacian, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Mawile are strong picks.
While Shadow Giratina (Altered Forme) is a legendary mon, its PvP ranks are relatively mid-tier: #109 in Great League, #33 in Ultra League, and #68 in Master League. If you're chasing top-tier meta picks for competitive play, this might not be the most efficient use of your raid passes. However, if you're a collector or seeking a unique challenge, it still offers value.
