More information

The following chart shows Bonsly's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Bonsly's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

If you are unable to get Bonsly with its best moveset, we recommend to use Counter/Rock Slide. You will lose around 4.3% DPS and TDO, which makes these moves a viable alternative to Bonsly's strongest moveset (Rock Throw/Rock Slide).

Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Bonsly has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

Catch probability with multiple throws

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

Bonsly Pokédex entries

Versions	Pokédex entry
Diamond	It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body’s fluid levels by eliminating excess.
Pearl	It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels.
Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2	It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level.
HeartGold, SoulSilver	In order to adjust the level of fluids in its body, it exudes water from its eyes. This makes it appear to be crying.
X, Omega Ruby	It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels.
Y, Alpha Sapphire	It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level.
Sun	It does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably.
Moon	From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat.
Ultra Sun	It discharges moisture from its eyes, making it look like it’s crying—apparently an effective way of getting enemies to let down their guard.
Ultra Moon	If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture.
Sword	It expels both sweat and tears from its eyes. The sweat is a little salty, while the tears have a slight bitterness.
Shield	This Pokémon lives in dry, rocky areas. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases.
Legends: Arceus	Its tears elicit sympathy from those who see them, but do not be deceived! This expulsion of body water is merely a physiological mechanism for keeping itself in good health.
