PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Rattata is a small upgrade over regular Rattata, wherein it may not have too many wins but bags some key Pokémon in this format. The Shadow variant is able to beat Igglybuff, Barboach, Chansey, Vullaby and Wooper, alongside others like Deino, Swinub, and Chinchou. However, it loses Dratini and Wigglytuff.

Shadow Rattata is not suitable for any other PvP League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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