Skiploom in the meta

PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids – With no changes to its moveset from its pre-evolution Hoppip, Skiploom only brings a Grass-type moveset into Raid battles. There are countless other Grass-type Pokémon that perform far better and are much wiser investments, especially the Grass-type starters and their evolutions.

🛡️ Gyms – Skiploom has no real place defending Gyms, even with Defense and Stamina as its best stats!

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little League – Skiploom finds itself in an awkward position where it performs worse than its pre-evolution. Since Hoppip requires powering up to a higher level, its Attack stat can be put to better use in the Little League. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Skiploom, so we recommend not evolving it for PvP.

🔵 Great League – Skiploom maxes out at 1103 CP, which is far too low to make it a viable choice for the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League – Did you know the flower on Skiploom’s head closes in cold regions, meaning it needs to float to warmer climates to photosynthesize? This fun fact has nothing to do with PvP, but Skiploom has no use here either.

🟣 Master League – Definitely not a place for Skiploom, unless you’re looking for a one-hit knockout (OHKO).

Special CP Values

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

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