Pokemon Go Shadow Groudon best PvP moveset

The best moveset you can teach Shadow Groudon for PvP consists of Mud Shot as a Fast Move and Precipice Blades as a Charged Move.

Dragon Tail is a good Fast Move, however, Mud Shot allows Shadow Groudon to target all non-flying Dragons, which tend to be a recurring type in PvP. Plus its fast energy gain allows it to reach its Charged Move way faster.

Precipice Blades – Groudon’s Legacy Move – is still the overall best attack you can use in any battle as it hits harder than the fan-favorite Earthquake using even less energy. Its other Legacy Move, Fire Punch, is a good choice too, and you can use it for coverage against Grass and Ice-type Pokemon.

Pokemon Go Shadow Groudon best Raid moveset

Shadow Groudon’s best moveset for Raids is the same as the one for PvP, with Mud Shot as a Fast Move and Precipice Blades as a Charged Move.

With only two Fast Moves available, Mud Shot is the overall best thanks to its higher damage, STAB, and coverage.

On the other hand, Precipice Blades is still the ultimate Charged Move. However, if you don’t have access to the Legacy Move, you can go with Earthquake, though it won’t be as powerful.
