Meta Relevance
There is a lot to be excited about here. Keep in mind that most of these Pokemon also come with an IV floor of 6/6/6 when caught from a raid.
Shadow DialgaPvE
A fantastic Dragon type and a great Steel type. Though Dragon is very competitive type, so I highly recommend checking out our Comprehensive DPS/TDO Spreadsheet to see if it's worth spending your Super Rocket Radar on. That being said, it's a fantastic Pokemon that takes advantage of its new found power.
Shadow TyrantrumPvE
Having access to a great moveset, along with good base stats already made Tyrantrum a good option, but giving it a shadow boost propels it to the top. While it's not the best Rock type, it's still a fantastic one to go after!
 
Shadow MagnezonePvE
A top contender in the Electric type category. It's the more tankier option of its type, but it still has great DPS, so it will work well in any Electric type team.
Shadow HonchkrowPvE
Shadow Honchkrow is a fantastic Flying type attacker. It's a solid option that can pull double duty for Dark as well if you're lacking some power there.
Shadow MamoswinePvE
This thing is the classic Ice type with a shadow boost. It's long been king of everything cold, and while it has been dethroned recently, it's still fantastic.
Shadow ConkeldurrPvE
With a guaranteed IV floor of 6/6/6 in raids, this thing should be a top contender for your free daily raid pass. It's a fantastic Fighting type!
