Recommended moves

Great League:Wing Attack Night Slash Dig
Ultra League:Wing Attack Night Slash Aerial Ace

🔵 Great League

Gligar itself is a superb inclusion to the Great League thanks to its bulk and moveset, and Shadow Gligar is actually better, adding some extra oomph to its offensive strength. Unlike regular Gligar, the Shadow also beats Altaria, Cradily, Sableye, Swampert, and Lickilicky. On the other hand, it loses Shadow Swampert and Gastrodon. In case it gets the ATK boost from Night Slash, Shadow Gligar gets more terrifying regardless of the shield scenario.

Shadow Gligar is totally worth the investment when it comes to usage in the Great League!

Shadow Gligar's max CP is only 2099, making it unsuitable for the Ultra and Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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