PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Water Attacker:Waterfall Hydro Pump

Shadow Gyarados is a solid Water-type attacker, sporting high DPS output. Due to its Flying subtyping, Shadow Gyarados is particularly very good against Ground-type Pokémon. In the same vein, it needs to steer clear from battling Rock-type Bosses despite the super-effective advantage. #### ⚔️ Raids Shadow Gyarados’ damage output is higher than Hydro Cannon Shadow Empoleon, with supreme performance against Ground-type Raid Bosses. Some dodging is recommended in general due to the lost bulk and slow moveset, but overall, it's a very strong pick for STAB Water-type damage. 👌 #### 🛡️ Gyms Being a Shadow Pokémon already makes it less bulky than usual. Moreover, the double weakness to Electric-type attacks is concerning for Shadow Gyarados. As such, it is not a good Gym defender.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Dragon Breath Aqua Tail Twister
Ultra League:Dragon Breath Aqua Tail Twister
Master League:Dragon Breath Aqua Tail Twister

🔵 Great League

Shadow Gyarados has a very tacky moveset that combines good energy generation, coverage, cheap charged attacks, and frequent nerfs to the opponent’s DEF to establish itself as a dominant attacker. From the expected Fire and Ground type victims, to buy shots like Corviknight, Galarian Moltres, Empoleon, Feraligatr, Shadow Sableye, and Forretress, Shadow Gyarados is difficult to prepare against (unless you use an Electric type). Regardless of the outcome of the battle, this Pokémon always created a dent in the opposition.

🟡 Ultra League

The ability to take down Giratina Altered, Shadow Drapion, Shadow Scizor, Empoleon, and Golisopod with its hard-hitting and relatively quick moveset is a perk. Shadow Gyarados is appreciated for being able to put immense pressure on the opponent, mostly by drawing a shield even in battles it loses.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Gyarados may not fetch too many positive outcomes but its aggressive playstyle does put opponents on notice. Its best matchups are against Ground types, Kyogre, Zygarde Complete, and even Zamazenta Crowned Shield. Against Dragon Pokémon (usually aplenty in this format), Dragon Breath (boosted by the Shadow bonus) takes off a lot of HP and the fact that Shadow Gyarados doesn't take super-effective damage in return makes it a terror against them, typically in shielded scenarios.

You're still better off using Shadow Gyarados in the Master Premier, where it doesn't have to worry about Legendaries and is one of the top anti-Dragon plus Water-type offense picks.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Shadow Gyarados, 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.
