Grovyle in the meta

PvE Analysis

Grovyle has the traditional mid-stage evolution stat spread, but still, with a quick moveset of Bullet Seed and Leaf Blade, it can clean Gyms and 1-Star Raid Bosses weak to Grass-type damage quickly. For bigger and more challenging battles, Grovyle needs to evolve. ☘️

💎 Grovyle’s best moveset for PvE is Bullet Seed and Leaf Blade.

PvP Analysis

🔵 Great League

The first issue with Grovyle is that many, many Great League Pokémon have better stats for the format. Second, its best PvP moves compromise Grass, Normal, and Flying types, which aren't a great offensive combination. If you want to use a Grass Pokémon in the Great League, opt for Jumpluff or Serperior instead. 🍃

Maxing out at 1891 CP, Grovyle doesn't work out for the Ultra and Master League formats.

💎 Grovyle's best moveset for PvP is Quick Attack, Leaf Blade, and Aerial Ace.

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 Grovyle, 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.
