      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Origin Forme Giratina is the preferred choice for PvE, especially in raids, due to its signature move Shadow Force. It can be used as both a Ghost and Dragon-type attacker, but its Ghost-type performance is significantly stronger. The ideal moveset is Shadow Claw/Shadow Ball or Shadow Force, with Shadow Force being slightly superior. Keep in mind that an Elite Charge TM is required to unlock Shadow Force.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup - Not available

      🔵 Great League - Not available

      🟡 Ultra League - Origin Forme Giratina can perform decently in the Ultra League, but it is not as effective as the Altered Forme. If you want to use Origin-Giratina, opt for Dragon Pulse/Shadow Ball/Ominous Wind (as a bait move).

      🟣 Master League - The Master League is where Origin Forme Giratina truly excels. Its higher offensive power allows it to win more matchups compared to Altered Forme. However, due to its fragility, it can suffer in unfavorable matchups. We recommend saving your Shadow Force Origin Giratina for PvE.

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.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Origin Forme Giratina, 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.
