      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Oshawott’s DEF is only 85, and it’s further nerfed due to the Shadow effect. 😨

      ⚔️ Raids

      With negligible damage output, Oshawott is an easy pass. 😅

      🛡️ Gyms

      With the bulk of a wet tissue paper, this Water-type Shadow Pokémon should never be kept in Gyms. 🫠

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Despite its flimsy bulk, Shadow Oshawott boasts a handy moveset with Water Gun, Aqua Tail, and Night Slash, enabling it to deal high damage and effectively bait shields. A lucky ATK boost from Night Slash can turn Shadow Oshawott into a tidal wave that spirals out of control! 🌊

      However, its random factor and low bulk may occasionally be a concern. Overall, it’s a fun pick that can often secure a win. 🙂

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 Shadow Oshawott, 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.
