Shadow Salamence in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dragon Attacker:Dragon Tail Outrage *
- Flying Attacker:Fire Fang Fly
No matter how many new Dragon types introduced, Shadow Salamence keeps on reserving a spot for itself among the subset of high damage Dragon Pokémon. In fact, Shadow Salamence is the strongest Shadow Dragon type in the meta, at least until Haxorus gets a Shadow form. Regardless, this is an investment you won't ever regret!
⚔️ Raids
Eternatus, Mega Rayquaza, and Mega Garchomp are the only peers that deal more Dragon-type damage than Shadow Salamence in Pokémon GO. Additionally, Shadow Salamence has the advantage of running both Outrage and Draco Meteor, making it situationally better in some cases.
Shadow Salamence with Fire Fang and Fly is a high damage option against Grass and Bug type Raid Bosses.
Perhaps most surprising of all, Shadow Salamence with Bite and Brutal Swing is an impressive Dark-type attacker, dishing out as much damage as Mega Houndoom, and surpassing Hydreigon and Darkrai as well! Such a performance without STAB is commendable but keep in mind that Dark types resist both Ghost and Psychic damage, the types it is meant to counter, while Shadow Salamence doesn't resist them. Not to mention, Ghost types compete with Dark types for beating Ghost and Psychic Raid Bosses.
Overall, Shadow Salamence is a prize of a Pokémon as a Dragon type, often as a Flying type, and surprisingly as a Dark type, even though it is outclassed in all roles.
🛡️ Gyms
Shadow Salamence is a poor Gym defender due to inherently low bulk that gets lowered through the Shadow effect.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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.
