      Shadow Tepig in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Shadow Tepig is plagued by a low Attack stat that the Shadow bonus barely improves, combined with a subpar Fire-type moveset for PvE.

      ⚔️ Raids

      Shadow Tepig simply lacks the "firepower" to deliver enough damage in raid battles. 😮‍💨

      🛡️ Gyms

      With its low Defense stat, Shadow Tepig is a terrible choice for defending gyms. 👎

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Armed with a decent Fast Move (Ember), a shield baiter (Body Slam), and a way to boost its already increased Attack (Flame Charge), Shadow Tepig can dominate a meta full of Pokémon with less than 100 HP. It emerges as a fiery threat in the Little Cup. 🐽🔥

      🔵 Great League

      Shadow Tepig burns itself out attempting the Great League. 😅

      🟡 Ultra League

      Don’t even try it in the Ultra League—it’s not fun! 😣

      🟣 Master League

      Using Shadow Tepig in the Master League is an impossible endeavor.

              Catch probability with multiple throws

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