PvE Analysis

⚔️ 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

🔵 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.

Mega Pokémon that boost Herdier

A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Herdier's Normal-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Herdier.

Normal

More information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. 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.

Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza

Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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