Shadow Wobbuffet in the meta

PvE Analysis

Wobbuffet is a weak Pokémon and the Shadow boost offers it no add-on on PvE. In fact, it's worse in Gyms.

⚔️ Raids

Don't even try using Shadow Wobbuffet in 1-Star Raids. The damage output is very low.

🛡️ Gyms

Wobbuffet is a great Gym defender but it doesn't compare to Blissey due to lower ATK and DEF. The Shadow variant plummets the Defense further down, making it even worse. So, you should rather use regular Wobbuffet in Gyms, and not the Shadow.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Counter Mirror Coat Frustration

🔵 Great League

A harder-hitting Counter is good enough to take down Shadow Steelix but it also loses to Diggersby. There isn't too much difference between the Shadow and non-Shadow, and you shouldn't be using Shadow Wobbuffet in the Great League anyway.

Shadow Wobbuffet maxes out at only 1160 CP, making it inadequate for the Ultra and Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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

Gold	It hates light and shock. If attack ed, it inflatesits body to pump up its counter strike.
Silver	To keep its pitch- black tail hidden, it lives quietlyin the darkness. It is never first to attack.
Crystal	In order to con ceal its black tail, it lives ina dark cave and only moves about at night.
Ruby	If two or more WOBBUFFET meet, they will turn competitive and try to outdo each other’s endurance.However, they may try to see which one can endure the longest without food. TRAINERS need to beware of this habit.
Sapphire	WOBBUFFET does nothing but endure attacks - it won’t attack on its own. However, it won’t endure an attack onits tail. When that happens, the POKéMON will try to take the foe with it using DESTINY BOND.
Emerald	Usually docile, a WOBBUFFET strikes back ferociously if its black tail is attacked. It makes its lair in caves where it waits for nightfall.
