Basics
Shadow Aipom is a Normal-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 770 at level 20 (Shadow Raids), 963 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,524 at level 50. It is weak to Fighting attacks (1.6×). It resists Ghost attacks. In raids, Scratch + Swift is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Shadow Ambipom with 100 Candy and Sinnoh Stone. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

Aipom's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the Pokémon uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.
