Hi all, I have all these Shadow Pokémon that would turn into Hundos if Purified. Which one’s are good as Shadows, and which ones should be Purified? I don’t mind keeping them Shadow if they have any potential.
Dragonite and garchomp are amazing moms by themselves, and being shadow adds damage.
However, I don’t know enough to know whether they are better overall in raids or pvp. So I’d suggest looking for the raid guides, and if the regular versions are better, purify them. If not, keep them as they are

You have enough Dratinis to try out both ways 
I’d purify and max out/evolve the Swablu if you want to use it for the Ultra League. It’ll also make a nice Mega for raids maxed out.
I have read to never purify Mewtwo, Machamp, Mamoswine, or Tyrannitar.

As you have asked, I will give my opinion.
Only the Dratini and Gible have any value/use in Shadow form.
Evolved and powered up they are virtually un matched for damage in a Raid team or for Gym clean outs and Rocket battles.
My 91% 13atk L50 Dragonite with Dragon Breath/Dragon Claw is my No.1 go to.
I would love to add others but the game will not give me great IV’s worthy of the resources as they do take a fair bit.
These below are my most prized and useful Pokémon. The Charizard is 98% 15atk with Blast Burn and the Egg are great when exploiting type damage.
Dragonite and Metagross are extremely versatile. Machamp are the best Blissey buster.
I’m longing to get a great Shadow Rhydon for a monster Rhyperior.
