Shadow Pidgeot is a marked improvement over its basic forme, but it's also a very mediocre Pokemon. It can work as a Flying Type attacker, but it's outclassed by even some non-shadow, non-Legendary Flying Type attackers. Honestly, if you manage to get one with high enough IVs, then it might be worth purifying for a high-IV Mega Pidgeot.

Brave Bird
Brave Bird
  • Gust* and Brave Bird provide maximum damage
  • Wing Attack* is second best, Air Slash is... non-elite.
  • Steel Wing is worthless on Shadow Pidgeot
  • Hurricane is the second best charged move, followed by Aerial Ace, then Air Cutter.
  • Feather Dance is worthless for PvE. 

Best
Gust
Gust
Aerial Ace
Aerial Ace
  • Gust* provides huge power on defense, but it's the same type as all of Pidgeot's charged moves. Steel Wing is also decent, though its coverage is fairly similar.
  • Air Slash is an okay secondary pick if you don't have a Shadow Pidgeot with Gust, but it is definitely weaker.
  • Wing Attack* has no defensive viability for Shadow Pidgeot
  • Aerial Ace is the top choice, as it comes out frequently
  • Air Cutter is only slightly stronger than Aerial Ace, but the energy requirement is too high to make the trade-off worth it.
  • Brave Bird is the best one-bar move, but Shadow Pidgeot may never use it.
  • Hurricane is a weaker Brave Bird.
  • Feather Dance is worthless for PvE.
