A Tier#27

Recommended moves

Grass Attacker:Vine Whip Frenzy Plant *
Poison Attacker:Vine Whip Sludge Bomb

Armed with Frenzy Plant, Shadow Venusaur deals higher damage than even Mega Venusaur but on the flip side, it's quite frail. That said, it's a great Pokémon if you're looking for high-octane Grass-type DPS. So if you're lucky enough to have a high IV Shadow, particularly with 15 ATK, it is worth the investment and the Elite Charged TM. But bear in mind that Mega Venusaur is overall better. 🍃

⚔️ Raids

Even though Shadow Venusaur technically does more raw damage than Mega Venusaur, the latter has an ace up its sleeve: Mega Boost. Add the oodles of extra bulk, and Mega Venusaur owns the overall performance aspect. 📈

🛡️ Gyms

On top of losing bulk (0.833x) due to the Shadow effect, the Grass/Poison-type Venusaur also has four weaknesses (Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic), each of which houses absolute powerhouses. Using Shadow Venusaur isn't the best bet for Gym defense. 👎

💎 The best PvE moves for Shadow Venusaur are Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant.

🔵 Great League

Shadow Venusaur is a strong addition to the Great League meta, grabbing wins against several Water, Ground, Fairy, and Electric types. Due to its Poison typing, it is also able to trouble other Grass types. It is a formidable Pokémon that doesn't go down without robbing the opponent off a shield or considerable HP. ✌️

🟡 Ultra League

The Ultra League is Shadow Venusaur’s strongest showing, using its boosted damage and strong moveset to take down many targets, including the ever-present Water types, Electric types like Ampharos and Bellibolt, Clefable, Fighting types like Annihilape, Primeape, and Pangoro, major threats like Cresselia, Steelix, and Zygarde Complete. 👀

This is quite an interesting résumé of wins and pairing Shadow Venusaur with a Dragon killer solidifies its worth in your UL team(s). 💪

🟣 Master League

Shadow Venusaur boasts some impressive wins in the Master League against Water, Ground, and Fairy types. However, its Grass-type damage is resisted by the usual Dragon and Steel types in the meta.

So just like the Ultra League, Shadow Venusaur can be run in the Master League if you're able to create anti-Dragon and anti-Steel teammates. But its inconsistency usually ends up making it an afterthought. Use Zarude or Tapu Bulu.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Venusaur are Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant and Sludge Bomb.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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