Basics
Shadow Rattata is a Normal-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 419 at level 20 (Shadow Raids), 524 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 830 at level 50. It is weak to Fighting attacks (1.6×). It resists Ghost attacks. In raids, Quick Attack + Hyper Fang is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Shadow Raticate with 25 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 1 km you walk together.
