Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

Conclusion
Xurkitree had the potential to be kind of a big deal. With one of the highest attack stats in Pokémon GO, it had a huge chance of being a meta changing Electric type. Sadly however, whilst it got the fast move it needed, it didn’t get access to Wild Charge as a fast move meaning it just doesn’t pack enough punch.
If it had Wild Charge it would have been out ALL other Electric types, including shadows and Mega Pokémon! It didn’t even get it’s second choice move, sadly meaning for now, it isn’t breaking any barriers. That may change in the future with move updates, so it could be worth getting a good one to potentially TM later!
