At first I succeeded with Wobbuffet, but I didn't like how doesn't have any offensive moves. Then I tried evolving a Haunter into Gengar, because I thought that would give it Shadow Tag. Nope, that's only Mega Gengar. Now my last hope is the Gothita line of evolution, as their hidden abilities are shadow tag, but I'll also have 2 psychic types on my team.
I'm honestly not sure why I'm doing this, but I feel like I have to.
Shadow Tag Wobbuffet isn't that bad, you just have to get lucky. Let's say your opponent has a Choice Band Arcanine that's locked into Close Combat. Just switch in a Wobbuffet so it can't escape and spam Counter.
You can also use Arena Trap Dugtrio. Your opponent could have a Choice Specs Manectric that's locked into Thunderbolt. Switch in your Dugtrio, use Hone Claws a million times and sweep with Earthquake (unless you're going up against Flying types or Pokemon with Levitate)
But the chances of things like this happening isn't very high so I wouldn't rely on them.
