        Gigalith in the meta

        Gigalith in the meta

        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Gigalith is a great budget option as a Rock-type attacker, thanks to decent stats and access to the powerful move Meteor Beam. ☄️ Don't hesitate to power it up! ⬆️

        💎 Gigalith’s best moveset for PvE is Smack Down and Meteor Beam.

        ⚔️ Raids

        When not taking Megas and Shadows into consideration, Gigalith is among the top options to deal high Rock-type damage. 👍

        🛡️ Gyms

        Gigalith has good defenses, but as a Rock-type Pokémon, it is weak to Fighting, Grass, Ground, Water, and Steel types, making it vulnerable to many Gym attackers.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        💎 Gigalith's best moveset for PvP is Mud-Slap, Meteor Beam, and Superpower.

        🔵 Great League

        Gigalith’s bulk goes for a toss in the Great League, and adding that to its slew of weaknesses, you can see why running Gigalith is challenging. 😅

        🟡 Ultra League

        Another League... and the same problems continue for Gigalith. It's best left to PvE. 🫠

        🟣 Master League

        You guessed it—the same set of problems again for Gigalith. Its stats aren’t high enough for this format, and it also doesn’t have an OP moveset like Rhyperior to make an impact.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Gigalith

        Photobomb

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

        Rock Rock

        Pokédex informationMore 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 Gigalith, 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.

                Catch rate multipliers
