Shadow Ninetales in the meta

PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Fire Attacker:Fire Spin Weather Ball

With very mediocre stats, Shadow Ninetales isn't adequate for either Raids or Gyms, making it just a Pokédex filler in the PvE sense.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Ember Weather Ball Energy Ball
Ultra League:Ember Weather Ball Energy Ball

🔵 Great League

The addition of Energy Ball via the Vulpix Community Day may not help Ninetales win as much as with the Weather Ball (Fire) and Overheat combo, but the coverage against Water Pokémon is much appreciated. Moreover, this forces Gastrodon to use a shield, a welcome perk from a previously helpless matchup.

In practice, both Scorching Sands and Energy Ball have their bonuses (the former against Bastiodon), but in the Water hyped Great League meta, Energy Ball, complemented by Ember's (a Legacy move) energy gains makes Ninetales quite threatening.

🟡 Ultra League

Sporting its XL version, Ninetales is very oppressive in the Ultra League, taking down Bug, Grass, and Fairy types as efficiently as always, while also claiming Gastrodon (a major hit in this format). The wins may be more from the Overheat variant (including Cresselia, Cobalion, and Shadow Moltres) but Energy Ball puts more pressure on the opposition in generic situations.

Ultimately, the decision for the move kit will depend on your team composition.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Ninetales isn't strong enough to take on the Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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