The best counters to Shadow Pokémon are Purified Pokémon and high CP/maxed out Pokémon with super effective moves. Shadows have lower defense but higher attack, so hit them hard and fast!

From my experience, bringing in Machamps with Counter and Dynamic Punch usually does the trick, especially against those pesky Shadow Snorlaxs!

Legendary Pokémon often excel against Shadows due to higher stats. Try using a Kyogre or Mewtwo if you have one.

Honestly, just use whatever has type advantage and high CP. No need to overthink it.
