Pokémon GO Shadow Raid Attacker Rankings Top 15 — October 2026
Shadow Pokémon have 20% higher Attack than their standard counterparts, making them stronger raid attackers of the same species. The table below is drawn from GBL Note attacker data (as of October 30, 2026) and lists 15 Shadow Pokémon sorted by overall performance (ER). Moves marked "(Legacy)" can only be learned with an Elite TM. Full rankings by type are available at Raid Attacker Rankings.

Pokémon that require a Legacy move (such as Fusion Flare for Shadow Reshiram and Psystrike for Shadow Mewtwo) cannot learn those moves without an Elite TM. Keep this in mind when deciding Elite TM spending priority. Top attackers usable without a Legacy move include Shadow Palkia (Dragon) and Shadow Garchomp (Dragon), among others.
To obtain Shadow Pokémon, you must defeat GO Rocket bosses. Full attacker rankings by type (including standard and Mega forms) are available at Raid Attacker Rankings, and Mega Evolution attacker priorities can be found on type-specific pages such as Dragon Type Attacker Rankings.
Figures are based on GBL Note's own calculations (October 30, 2026). DPS and Overall (ER) values assume the optimal move combination; actual performance will vary depending on whether the Pokémon has its Legacy move.
