Shadow Flygon's problem is not just mediocre stats. It's that this Pokémon is widely outclassed by two other Dragon/Ground types, one a Pseudo Legendary and the other a Legendary, with both Pokémon also boasting Mega Evolutions to boot.

Keeping aside the Megas, even base Garchomp is stronger than Shadow Flygon by miles, with both even having the same Ground-type moves. You're any day better off using Garchomp in both ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms, although the double weakness to Ice is a concern.

🔵 Great League

Ground and Dragon are both good offensive types, making Shadow Flygon pretty good in this format, especially with its spammy moveset that can trouble even the most seasoned players. While it does enjoy a bunch of interesting wins (Shadow Quagsire, Swampert, Gourgeist Super, and Galarian Moltres), it loses most of its matchups.

The silver lining is that even in losing matchups, Shadow Flygon makes an impact with its DEF debuffs and/or shield baits. Keep in mind that Shadow Vibrava is a bit better for this format.

🟡 Ultra League

With a slew of impressive wins against the likes of Giratina Altered, Kommo-o, Lickilicky, Guzzlord, Shadow Dusknoir, Greninja, and Feraligatr, Shadow Flygon is at its best in the Ultra League. More than straight wins, what makes Shadow Flygon deadly in these battles is its ability to debuff the opponent’s DEF or burn their shields, thereby functioning in a supportive role in teams.

While Shadow Flygon is definitely usable, it should be known that Zygarde Complete is the supreme Dragon/Ground Pokémon for PvP. So if you have that, just go with it, otherwise build a team where the other two Pokémon do the weightlifting while Shadow Flygon offers support.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Flygon cannot hold its own against the titans of the Master League, which includes the powerful Zygarde Complete and Garchomp, two stronger options.

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

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