PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Water Attacker:Waterfall Hydro Cannon *
Steel Attacker:Steel Wing Flash Cannon

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Empoleon is the shadow form of the final stage of the water-type starter from Sinnoh, now with an additional steel type as well. It is one of the best water-type raid attackers, perhaps worthy of being one of the top ten best. It’s decent as a steel-type raid attacker as well.

As a water-type raid attacker, Shadow Empoleon is strong against ground, rock, and fire-type Pokémon. Whereas, as a steel-type raid attacker, it’s strong against rock, ice, and fairy-type Pokémon.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Metal Sound Hydro Cannon Drill Peck
Ultra League:Metal Sound Hydro Cannon Drill Peck
Master League:Metal Sound Hydro Cannon Drill Peck

Shadow Empoleon has a stellar list of type resistances as well as the powerful Hydro Cannon, creating a niche for itself in PvP, especially by checking types that Dragons struggle with 😎

Essentially, Shadow Empoleon is a reliable switch to Ice, Fairy, Steel, and Dragon types, making it easy to integrate into teams. Metal Sound, Hydro Cannon, and Drill Peck provide impressive coverage overall, giving it a nice offensive profile as well 🤺

🔵 Great League

The defensive benefits of the Water/Steel type combo cannot be emphasized enough, making Empoleon stand tall against some of the most formidable opponents in the Great League. It’s an attack-weighted Pokémon that relies heavily on quickly racking up damage on the opponent. Which is why access to the fast energy-generating Metal Sound is a huge boon to Empoleon, as it allows Empoleon to spam its charged attacks really, really fast.

This makes Empoleon one of the best Pokémon in the Great League. Though it should be noted that regular Empoleon actually outperforms Shadow Empoleon in the Great League in terms of pure win-loss ratio, but Shadow Empoleon definitely has its own unique use cases.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Empoleon was viable before in the Ultra League. Access to Metal Sound now makes it a real meta Pokémon for largely the same reasons as in the Great League. Metal Sound just makes Empoleon a lot spammier. There are also fewer fighting types to threaten Empoleon in the Ultra League now and more fairy types for it to target. Just bear in mind that the shadow variant noticeably outperforms the regular variant in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Empoleon doesn't do well at all in the Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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