        Shadow Mawile in the meta

        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Shadow Mawile is neither able to do reasonable damage nor take any hits in PvE.

        ⚔️ Raids - There are far better Steel and Fairy types to use in Raids. A bummer, since Mawile’s Steel/Fairy typing gives Dragon Pokémon nightmares 😬

        🛡️ Gyms - Not good enough to justify a place in the Gym 🙅‍♀️

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Shadow Mawile has a host of juicy moves to use in PvP, giving it jaw-dropping flexibility while being blessed with a stellar type combination 🫡

        Fairy Wind is overall the best Fast Move due to STAB and superior energy gains, helping to use Iron Head, Power-Up Punch, or Play Rough efficiently 💪

        All this gives it great potential, but it is held back by its underwhelming stats.

        🔵 Great League - Shadow Mawile is a top Pokémon to make quick work of Dragon, Fairy, and Dark types in this meta 😁

        Basically, it does what it's supposed to do, that too with remarkable efficiency. It also grabs notable wins like Azumarill, Oranguru, and Ariados, making it a favorable pick 😎

        But in the long run, its poor stats prevent it from being a big deal.

        🟡 Ultra League - Its stats aren't good enough for the Ultra League 😕

        🟣 Master League - It can't even hurt Dragons, forget about using Shadow Mawile here 😛

        Fairy Fairy

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. 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.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

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