        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        ⚔️ Raids

        Jynx is an Ice and Psychic-type that performs okay as an Ice-type raid attacker but is completely unremarkable as a Psychic-type raid attacker.

        As such, it is recommended to use Jynx primarily as an Ice-type raid attacker. Jynx’s preferred moveset in that role is Frost Breath and Avalanche.

        As an Ice-type raid attacker, Jynx is strong against Flying, Ground, Grass, and Dragon-types.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Jynx is a frail glass cannon Pokémon with a choice between two heavy damage-dealing Fast Attacks with long attack animations. Unfortunately, none of its Charged Attacks synergize well with its Fast Attacks.

        Moreover, the combination of Psychic and Ice typing is not particularly good for PvP, as it leaves Jynx with six unique weaknesses.

        Overall, Jynx is not a recommended Pokémon for PvP.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Jynx

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Jynx's Ice and Psychic-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Jynx.

        Ice Ice

        Psychic Psychic

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Jynx, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
