The Shadow form of the starting Pokémon in a three-stage evolution line? That’s just for the collection, not PvE battles like Raids and Gyms. 😅

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Little League:Bullet Seed Grass Knot Aerial Ace

🧸 Little Cup

Regular Treecko is a poor pick for the Little Cup due to its low bulk and lack of adequate coverage. With Shadow Treecko’s bulk taking a hit, it's even worse in this format. 🫣

Shadow Treecko has no use in any PvP League whatsoever.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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