The Steeled Resolve: Taken Over event brings five Shadow Pokémon to Pokémon GO, but PvE value varies: Shadow Helioptile, Shadow Dewpider, and Shadow Morelull are mostly filler in raids; Shadow Bewear offers some niche PvE value as a Fighting/Normal attacker but isn’t a top pick; the clear standout is Shadow Landorus Incarnate, whose potential with Sandsear Storm could push it into top-tier Ground attackers once it can access the move, though currently it remains solid but not elite. Overall, most new Shadows are pass-worthy with Landorus Incarnate the one to watch for raid strategy and roster progression.
