These are all the PvP mons to consider (don't pic one unless you plan on using it in the near future):
>Snover (Abomasnow GL/UL/UL Premier)>Machop (Machamp GL/UL Premier)>Magnemite (Magnezone GL/UL Premier)>Electabuzz (Electivire UL Premier)>Gligar (Gliscor UL)>Zubat (Crobat UL Premier, maybe Golbat GL if you're bored)>Poliwag (Politoed GL/UL, Poliwrath UL is okay I guess)>Nidoran [F] (Nidoqueen GL/UL Premier)>Seedot (Shiftry UL)>Pinsir/Scyther (Pinsir/Scizor okay in UL Premier)>Snorlax (UL Premier/ML/ML Classic)>Dragonite (ML Classic)>Articuno (ML, UL and ML Classic okay)Rest are either not good, are better not shadow, or require moves not normally available (Machamp is arguably viable with Payback in UL).
Just gonna throw in all the PvE shadowmons, probably not gonna have enough room to list all the ways they are good (look up the calcs yourself, moves mentioned are unavailable right now): Dragonite, Sharpedo, Metagross (but much better with Meteor Mash), Aerodactyl, Pinsir, Scizor, Victreebel, Magnezone, Electivire, Machamp, Banette, Venusaur (better with Frenzy Plant), Tyranitar (Smack Down needed for rock), Mamoswine, Honchkrow, Staraptor, Hariyama, Tangrowth, Snubbull, Weavile, Exeggutor, Zapdos (prefers Thundershock), Moltres (fine as is, but Sky Attack enables flying attacker), Mewtwo (prefers Shadow Ball or Psystrike).
