Shadow Dratini in the meta

PvE Analysis

Raid Attacker

Not ranked

Gym Defender

Not ranked

Shadow Dratini is the first of a three-stage evolution, and hence, it's associated with low stats and zero viability for ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms. For such an iconic evolution line, you should rather make it your buddy and collect Candy fast.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Dratini is one of the undisputed best Pokémon in the Little League, using its strong moves and balanced set of stats to its advantage, and beating much of the meta. Its victims include Wooper, Vulpix, Shadow Vulpix, Barboach, Seel, Skarmory, Chansey, Ducklett, and Swampert.

It particularly excels against all Starter types, which it resists, and are aplenty in this format.

On the flip side, it struggles against Deino, Wynaut, Bronzor, and even regular Dratini. In fact, the regular version is slightly better in performance, managing to often beat Deino, Altaria, Nidoqueen, and Scrafty. However, the Shadow gets the edge over Ducklett.

Either way, Shadow Dratini is extremely dominant in the Little Cup, and is always worth consideration when prepping your team.

Shadow Dratini is too weak for any other PvP League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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