PvE Analysis
Bidoof is a cult icon in the Pokémon franchise, but its status and popularity is unfortunately not reflected well in its stats. As such, it should be kept as far away as possible from PvE battles. Please resist the urge of using this icon in ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms! 😅
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
🧸 Little Cup
Despite a solid moveset, Bidoof barely does any reasonable damage and is easy for opponents to farm energy against. However, one good thing about it is the versatile set of Charged Attacks that it can learn! This way, your opponent can never really predict what moves you're about to use and if they judge poorly, it can lead to some unexpected wins!
A max CP of only 815 makes the almighty Bidoof a poor performer in other PvP Leagues.

Catch probability with multiple throws
In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Barboach, 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.

Barboach Pokédex entries

|---|---|
| Ruby | BARBOACH’s sensitive whiskers serve as a superb radar system. This POKéMON hides in mud, leaving only its two whiskers exposed while it waits for prey to come along. |

| Emerald | Its body is covered with a slimy film. The film acts as a barrier to prevent germs in muddy water from entering the BARBOACH’s body. |
| FireRed, LeafGreen | It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body. |
| Diamond | It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed. |
| Pearl | Its whiskers make a superb radar. They are used to locate prey, even in the murkiest of water. |
| Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2 | Its slimy body is hard to grasp. In one region, it is said to have been born from hardened mud. |
