        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Mega Garchomp is one of the strongest species in Pokémon GO. Period. 😌

        Boasting unreal stats, Mega Garchomp is an exceptional Dragon- and Ground-type attacker, performing both roles flawlessly. If you're looking for some top-tier Megas to invest in, Mega Garchomp is undeniably one of them! 😁

        However, it will always be behind Mega Rayquaza as a Dragon-type and Primal Groudon as a Ground-type. Just keep that in mind, because otherwise, it is exceptional!

        💎 Mega Garchomp’s best moveset for PvE is Mud Shot and Earth Power or Dragon Tail and Outrage.

        ⚔️ Raids

        Mega Garchomp is excellent, but you should know that it's second to Mega Rayquaza (Dragon) and Primal Groudon (Ground) in raw power and effectiveness. 🥈🥈

        However, against Electric-type Raid Bosses, Mega Garchomp is overall #1 thanks to its triple resistance to Electric-type damage. ⚡ It's the go-to counter to beat Zekrom and other Electric/Dragon Pokémon like Miraidon and Raging Bolt (whenever available). 🎯

        🛡️ Gyms

        Mega Evolutions can't be placed in Gyms.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Mega Evolutions aren't typically allowed in the GO Battle League, but in limited formats such as the Mega Master League, Mega Garchomp is insanely powerful, with an enormous stat product to boot. It even slays Zacian Hero and Tapu Bulu! 😳

        💎 Mega Garchomp’s best moveset for PvP is Mud Shot, Earth Power, and Outrage or Dragon Tail, Sand Tomb, and Outrage/Earth Power.

        Ground Ground

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

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