Strategy Overview
Despite Shuppet's high base Attack stat of 75, it becomes hard to use due to its other poor base stats and lack of a strong physical Ghost-type move, its strongest being Shadow Sneak. This limiting movepool also gives it a hard time against Dark-types, which simply shrug off its attacks and can even Pursuit trap it. Other Ghost-types like Frillish and Pumpkaboo-XL simply make better use of their Ghost typing due to their stats and movepool, while physical attackers like Pawniard and Timburr are better due to their higher damage output and bulk.
