PvE Analysis

Budew is a Baby Pokémon, and you really can't expect tiny tots to partake in PvE. 🚼

⚔️ Raids

Extremely poor offensive potential makes Budew a non-Raid Pokémon.

🛡️ Gyms

Budew looks adorable in a Baby Pokémon-themed Gym, but otherwise, it's a terrible defender due to its low stats. 😐

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Little League:Razor Leaf Grass Knot Energy Ball

🧸 Little Cup

A poor moveset, low stats, and limited coverage make Budew a sorry excuse for PvP. 😬

🔵 Great League

By not even going over 1000 CP, Budew doesn't work in the Great League. 👎

Catch probability with multiple throws

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