Shuckle in the meta

PvE Analysis

There are only three things that Shuckle excels in: defence, defence and defence. That pretty much sums up it's usability in PvE. But just to make it absolutely clear, do not take Shuckle into raids.

PvP Analysis

Great League – Shuckle's bulk will only take it so far, and as the max CP for this Pokémon tops out at 458, it comes out too low to matter in higher leagues.
Ultra League – Please do not entertain bringing Shuckle into Ultra League.
Master League – Just don't.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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