Shadow Palkia
 Shadow Palkia is finally here as succesfully predict in our new years article. It's definitly bound to make splash in the Dragon type meta, not even taking into account that it currently doesn't have access to Special Rend. Even without this busted move it's highly recommended you catch at least one of these.
Shadow Feraligatr 
 Do you like winning in PvP? Then you might want to consider spending you free daily raid pass on this monster! Seriously, this thing absolutely dominates the Great- and Ultra League, while also having play in the Master League. Just note that it'll have an IV floor of 6/6/6 when caught from a raid.
 
Shadow Gardevoir
 
This Pokemon is an absolute Fairy type dealing demon! While Fairy is often outclassed by other rivaling tyes such as Dragon and Fighting, it tends to find itselfs among the top counters when something is weak to it and fulfulling some niche roles.
 
Shadow Electivire
 
This balck and yellow haired yeti deals devestating Electric type damage in raids and is a must have for anyone looking to take down raid bosses fast.
