        Shadow Gigalith in the meta

        Shadow Gigalith in the meta

        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Shadow Gigalith boasts high damage output, placing it behind only Shadow Rampardos and Shadow Rhyperior in terms of DPS! 🥉

        Its bulk is also decent even after the Shadow nerf, and with Smack Down and Meteor Beam, it can do quite a number in PvE battles. 🔥

        To put it into perspective, it edges past Rampardos in terms of damage figures while also packing more bulk. 💪 If you have the resources, it’s worth powering up!

        ⚔️ Raids – Rock types are highly coveted Raid counters as they deal super-effective damage to Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types.

        Shadow Gigalith does this job really well! 😁

        🛡️ Gyms – Shadow Rock types aren’t worth putting in Gyms as they go down easily.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Shadow Gigalith looks menacing, but unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to expectations in PvP. 🥲

        🔵 Great League – An awkward defensive profile that takes an additional beating due to the Shadow nerf makes this format particularly difficult for Shadow Gigalith. 🤕

        🟡 Ultra League – The situation is the same as in the Great League, with numerous exploitable weaknesses making it hardly viable.

        🟣 Master League – Shadow Gigalith can deal some respectable damage in the Master League, scoring wins against Metagross, Dialga, and Dusk Mane Necrozma with Mud-Slap, Superpower, and Meteor Beam. 😯

        That said, it can’t do much beyond that, and this anti-Steel niche alone doesn’t justify a spot on your Master League team.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Shadow Gigalith

        Photobomb

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