Recommended moves

Normal Attacker:Astonish Boomburst

Regardless of the Shadow bonus, Exploud remains a weak Pokémon for ⚔️ Raids. In 🛡️ Gyms, its DEF is nerfed, making the Shadow more of a liability than the regular variant (which is also a poor Gym defender in the first place). Shadow Exploud is just another Pokédex addition.

PvP Analysis

Great League

Ultra League

Recommended moves

Great League:Astonish Crunch Disarming Voice
Ultra League:Astonish Crunch Disarming Voice

🔵 Great League

Shadow Exploud is a minor improvement over regular Exploud in the Great League, beating the likes of Altaria, Florges, and Ludicolo apart from the usual list of Ghost Pokémon. It also beats Feraligatr but loses to Empoleon. Overall, it's very niche and doesn't get you the success you desire from a GO Battle League bout.

🟡 Ultra League

Regular Exploud did boast some impressive wins like Cresselia, Kommo-o, and Feraligatr despite being overall disappointing. Shadow Exploud loses all these matchups while gaining Guzzlord, Shadow Feraligatr, and Armored Mewtwo. Definitely not worth running Shadow Exploud in PvP.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Exploud is too weak for the Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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