PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Grass Attacker:Magical Leaf Grass Knot

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Bayleef is the shadow form of the grass-type starter from Johto. As Bayleef is the second of a three-stage evolutionary line, it doesn’t do all that much damage and is outclassed by its evolution’s regular form in terms of attack power and moveset.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Magical Leaf Ancient Power Energy Ball

Shadow Bayleef is in a strange place, as this middle evolution does not have any role to play in the Little Cup, unlike its pre-evolution, and is wholly outclassed by its evolution in the three main open leagues. As such, Shadow Bayleef is not worth using as a PvP Pokémon.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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