PvE Analysis

Galarian Slowking shares the same Poison/Psychic type combination with Galarian Slowbro, but hits a little harder and is considerably bulkier. King stuff, eh! 👑

That still doesn't make it good enough for PvE though, since the stats are lackluster.

⚔️ Raids - Forget being a king, it's not even a prince as a Raid counter. A pauper, perhaps?

🛡️ Gyms - With a useful type combination and nice bulk to boot, it's a reasonably good Gym defender 👏

PvP Analysis

Galarian Slowking is sadly not that good in PvP. Even though its stats are better than Galarian Slowbro, the ‘Bro has STAB Poison Jab to salvage its Poison typing… something that the ‘King lacks 🫢

Instead, ‘King depends on a Ghost-type moveset combo of Hex and Shadow Ball, along with Surf to make ends meet in PvP. Indeed, it's usable but Galarian Slowbro is better.

🔵 Great League - Ghost-type moves give it good coverage overall, and its typing is pretty good defensively. Other than these factors, Galarian Slowking is decent at best in this format 🥲

🟡 Ultra League - Once again, its Ghost-type moves come to the rescue, giving Galarian Slowking a strong profile against the likes of Giratina, Trevenant, Virizion, and Cresselia. Still, it leaves something to be desired as it's not too reliable in high-octane battles due to underwhelming stats.

🟣 Master League - This King is Slow, and slayed with no effort by the Master League meta 🫣

Catch probability with multiple throws

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