Recommended moves

Ground Attacker:Mud-Slap Scorching Sands
Steel Attacker:Metal Claw Iron Head

Shadow Excadrill is an extremely strong (but frail) Steel-type attacker in the meta. While it’s well worth the investment, it should be noted that Mega Excadrill offers higher DPS, that too with higher bulk. With the Mega being cheaper to power up, you can consider putting limited resources on the Shadow and focusing more on Mega Excadrill.

⚔️ Raids

Shadow Excadrill’s DPS is slightly higher than regular Meteor Mash Metagross, but the latter boasts way higher bulk, a trait associated with Steel Pokémon. But as mentioned, Mega Excadrill blows both out of the water, so just go with the Mega Evolution for a supreme attacker.

🛡️ Gyms

Excadrill itself is very fragile, and with the Shadow nerf, it gets worse. Don’t use Shadow Excadrill as a Gym defender.

🔵 Great League

Despite a low DEF, Shadow Excadrill is a surprise package in the Great League thanks to its fast and furious moveset, numerous resistances, and wide coverage. Cresselia, Shadow Feraligatr, Shadow Scizor, Shadow Sableye, Sableye, Togekiss, Lickilicky, Poison types... all these heavyweights fall to the might of Shadow Excadrill's onslaught. Of course, it goes down to the ever-present Water Pokémon and the typical Fighting types.

In a nutshell, Shadow Excadrill can give a rude shock to many battlers and throw them off guard, helping you make a winning move with this feisty Pokémon.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Excadrill slows down a bit in the Ultra League, losing to major threats like the numerous Water, Dark, and Fighting types, and also Fire types, which are often a sight in this format. That said, it does beat Giratina Altered, which is always a perk.

The similarly-typed Galarian Stunfisk is a stronger option in these battles. So if you have that one (it's cheaper to power up as well), do go with it!

🟣 Master League

Even the best of Steel types fall to Shadow Excadrill, and it also gives a tough fight to Mewtwo and Dragon types. While Shadow Excadrill was a stronger pick at one time, the rise of many powerful Legendaries in this format has since reduced this Pokémon's sheen. It can still create some chaos with a Fairy and Dragon as teammates, but ultimately, Shadow Excadrill ends up losing most Master League matchups.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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