PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Skiploom is the second-stage of a three-stage Grass type line. Much like its prior form, it’s more defense oriented, with a low attack stat and a max CP of just 1103. As such, there’s no reason to use Shadow Skiploom as a raid attacker.

PvP Analysis

Shadow Skiploom's mid-stage status really shows when it comes to PvP. With a max 1103 CP, Shadow Skiploom is too weak for any of three main leagues. However, in this case, Skiploom is also undesirable in the 500 CP Little Cup, where its pre-evolution can perform better.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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