Whenever the shadow variant of a Pokémon listed above is available in the game, it is strongly recommended to use it over its regular/purified counterpart. However, since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to TM away Frustration, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article.
Shinx has plenty of counters, but if you don’t have ANY of the Pokémon listed above powered up, you can always use:
- “Generalist” Pokémon capable of dealing neutral damage
- Eevolutions capable of dealing super effective damage such as Flareon
- Other heavy-hitting Megas
But please, try to use the Pokémon listed above if possible, and take advantage of Shinx’s weakness to ground-type moves.
