PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Normal Attacker:Take Down Play Rough
⚔️ Raids
Herdier is a pure Normal-type Pokémon, and Normal-types do not make great raid attackers, as no Pokémon is weak to Normal-type moves.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:Take Down Dig Thunderbolt
🔵 Great League
Herdier is just shy of being a viable Pokémon in the Great League.
As a Normal-type, it has very few weaknesses, which would normally make it a strong safe swap.
However, Herdier has average stats, neither excelling in Attack nor Defense.
It has Sand Attack, which is a fantastic Fast Move for energy generation.
Unfortunately, Herdier lacks spammy Charged Moves, relying only on high-energy nukes, which makes it fairly predictable.

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.
