PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Water Attacker:Water Gun Water Pulse

Clamperl is a pure Water-type Pokémon with a max CP of 1436. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Water Gun and Ice Beam.

⚔️ Raids

Clamperl is truly an F-tier attacker, so please don’t use it in raids.

🛡️ Gyms

There are much better options available.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Little League:Water Gun Body Slam Ice Beam
Great League:Water Gun Body Slam Water Pulse

Clamperl’s best PvP moveset is Water Gun, Body Slam, and Water Pulse/Ice Beam. However, it is not a useful PvP Pokémon.

🧸 Little Cup

Clamperl doesn’t have good bulk and doesn’t pressure opponents into using their shields.

🔵 Great League

With a max CP of 1436, Clamperl is too small for Great League and would require XL Candy to max out. Not worth the investment.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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