PvE Analysis

Raid Attacker

Gym Defender

Not ranked

Steel-type Attacker

S Tier#5

Psychic-type Attacker

A+ Tier#13

Recommended moves

Steel Attacker:Bullet Punch Meteor Mash *
Psychic Attacker:Zen Headbutt Psychic

Shadow Metagross is a powerhouse in the Steel-type meta, sporting one of the highest DPS in this category. It even edges out Mega Metagross slightly but the Mega is far superior in performance, blending high offense and bulk seamlessly.

That said, Metagross (Shadow or Mega) is completely outclassed by Zacian (Crowned Sword), Zamazenta (Crowned Shield), and Dusk Mane Necrozma (a superior Steel/Psychic type).

In the Psychic type, Shadow Metagross is outclassed by many Pokémon, making it quite underwhelming in this regard.

This Shadow should strictly be used in the Steel type role, but keep in mind that there are better options.

⚔️ Raids

It resists Fairy, Ice and Rock, making it a strong pick to deal super-effective Steel-type damage.

🛡️ Gyms

Loses out on some bulk, making it a secondary option to regular Metagross. Still, a passable defender overall.

💎 The best PvE moves for Shadow Metagross are Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash.

Recommended moves

Great League:Shadow Claw Meteor Mash Earthquake
Ultra League:Shadow Claw Meteor Mash Earthquake
Master League:Shadow Claw Meteor Mash Earthquake

🔵 Great League

Shadow Metagross' Attack-heavy stats and high CP make it inadequate for the Great League’s restricted format, giving it a disappointing run in this platform.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Metagross is underwhelming in the Ultra League but the Shadow bonus makes it a bit better than the regular. The Bullet Punch variant outperforms the Shadow Claw variant slightly, beating Lapras and Tinkaton, while losing Virizion. Overall, Shadow Metag ross is not a meta addition to the Ultra League, and should ideally be kept for the Master League.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Metagross is a strong contender for the Master League but is outclassed by a Legendary of the same Steel and Psychic type, Dusk Mane Necrozma.

The addition of Shadow Claw, however, marks an impressive upgrade over the Bullet Punch variant, beating Groudon, Lunala, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Zamazenta (Crowned Shield), and Bullet Punch Metagross, losing no matchups compared to the regular variant. Black Kyurem, Kyogre, Melmetal, Xerneas, Florges, Togekiss, Primarina, and Zacian (Hero of Many Battles) are other established wins.

Without shields in play, Shadow Metagross gains Lunala and Bullet Punch Metagross, but loses Therian Forme Landorus.

Shadow Metagross is overall a good Pokémon in the Master League but Dusk Mane Necrozma does it all better.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Metagross are Shadow Claw, Meteor Mash and Earthquake.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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