Shadow Sceptile in the meta

PvE Analysis

Raid Attacker

B Tier#105

Gym Defender

Not ranked

Grass-type Attacker

A+ Tier#12

Recommended moves

Grass Attacker:Fury Cutter Frenzy Plant *

Shadow Sceptile is a phenomenal addition to the PvE meta, with its boosted ATK reinforcing the damage output of Frenzy Plant to a new level! 🤯

It's second only to Mega Sceptile and Kartana in DPS, making it a perfect fit for your Grass-type squad. 🍃

Definitely invest in Shadow Sceptile! 🦎

⚔️ Raids

The performance of Bullet Seed and Frenzy Plant Shadow Sceptile is pretty similar to Mega Sceptile using Bullet Seed and Leaf Blade. However, to get optimal damage from Shadow Sceptile, be sure to dodge, as it's pretty frail. ‼️

🛡️ Gyms

Severe bulk issues make Shadow Sceptile a poor Gym defender. 🤐

💎 Shadow Sceptile’s best moveset for PvE is Bullet Seed and Frenzy Plant.

PvP Analysis

Great League

B Tier#355

Ultra League

C Tier#379

Recommended moves

Great League:Fury Cutter Leaf Blade Breaking Swipe
Ultra League:Fury Cutter Leaf Blade Breaking Swipe

No matter which League you choose, Shadow Sceptile is always better than regular Sceptile, as whatever little time this Grass-type starter hangs on in battle, the power boost from the Shadow bonus is much appreciated. 🙌

This Pokémon adopts a hit-and-run offensive style, where its purpose is to bait shields with the lightning-fast Leaf Blade and deal as much damage in between. Not a top-tier PvP Pokémon, but a surprise package for sure! Try it in battle to take your opponents off-guard. 😉

🔵 Great League

Along with beating the Great League's premier Ground and Water types, it also beats some Pokémon that regular Sceptile can’t: Shadow Sableye, Lapras, Jellicent, and Shadow Annihilape.

Even in Shadow Sceptile’s losing matchups, the high damage and shield baits often cripple the opponent to a disadvantage. 👀

🟡 Ultra League

The Ultra League becomes too overbearing for Sceptile, Shadow or not. However, it does possess some positive matchups against prominent Ground, Water, and Steel types (courtesy of Earthquake) in the meta. It may not be a direct match-winner, but it can pave the way to some wins through its supportive role (dealing fast damage and baiting shields). ✅

🟣 Master League

Shadow Sceptile can’t break out in the Master League due to its low bulk and limited offensive coverage from the Grass type. However, it’s still a force against powerful Ground and Water types like Rhyperior, Excadrill, Mamoswine, Primarina, and Kyogre… beating them all with ease. 🙂

💎 Shadow Sceptile's best moveset for PvP is Bullet Seed, Leaf Blade, and Earthquake.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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