PvE Analysis

Raid Attacker

Not ranked

Gym Defender

Not ranked

Normal-type Attacker

F Tier#112

Recommended moves

Normal Attacker:Quick Attack Hyper Fang

Shadow Raticate has weak stats and the Shadow boost does it no favors whatsoever. Moreover, it is a Normal-type Pokémon, with no super-effective coverage and therefore, no viability in Raids. Lack of bulk also means no usage in Gyms either.

PvP Analysis

Great League

D Tier#986

Recommended moves

Great League:Quick Attack Hyper Fang Dig

Poor stats, lack of coverage, and bad moves put Shadow Raticate in an awkward spot, giving it no usage in any PvP League. It's a bit better than the regular version, but that itself is bad in the first place!

Catch probability with multiple throws

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