PvE Analysis

Simisear is a pure Fire-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2657. It is not useful for PvE even with its best moveset of Fire Spin and Flamethrower.

⚔️ Raids

Too small and weak.

🛡️ Gyms

There are much better options available.

PvP Analysis

Simisear’s best moveset for PvP is Fire Spin, Crunch, and Flamethrower. It is sadly not a particularly useful PvP Pokémon.

🔵 Great League

Simisear is a glass cannon, making it less viable in PvP because it can’t take many hits.

🟡 Ultra League

Simisear ranks as the best of the elemental monkeys, but that isn’t saying much. It may beat Venusaur and Virizion, but it loses not only to Water-types but also to other Fire-types!

🟣 Master League

Simisear maxes out at 2657 CP, making it tiny compared to the big hitters of Master League.

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 Simisear, 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.
