Shuppet Weakness

Ghost and Dark moves hit Shuppet for super-effective damage. The upside? Normal and Fighting-type moves can't touch it at all.

Legends: Z-A Shuppet Best Moveset

The recommended build leans into Shuppet's strengths as a physical attacker. Wide Lens provides extra utility, and spread EVs back that up. Frisk rounds out the package.

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Shuppet's Dark and Poison coverage and more all comes from technical machines, built on top of Phantom Force and Shadow Ball for same-type damage. Phantom Force and Gunk Shot are the payoff moves.
