Shadow Venonat in the meta

PvE Analysis

Venonat is too weak to gain anything from the Shadow boost to its ATK. And Gym defense is out of question, given its lowered DEF stat.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little League

The Shadow boost is exactly what Venonat needed to go from good to great in the Little League. Aside from beating all prominent Grass, Poison, and Fighting types, as well as Barboach, Chansey, Igglybuff, Wigglytuff, Altaria, and Seel, Shadow Venonat also takes down Chinchou, Umbreon, and Wooper. Overall, Shadow Venonat is successful against more than half of the Little League meta, and is a very reliable addition to your team, always!

With a max CP of only 1135, Shadow Venonat isn't suitable for any other PvP League

Catch probability with multiple throws

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