      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Darumaka is one of the happiest Pokémon around, dancing around in bliss. 💃🕺 However, that joy doesn't translate to combat, as its stats (particularly DEF) are very low. Dance on, Darumaka—you don't need to fight in Raids or Gyms. 🥰

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      💎 Darumaka’s best moveset for PvP is Fire Fang, Flame Charge, and Fire Punch.

      🧸 Little Cup

      Darumaka has a reasonably high ATK for a Little Cup entrant, and this fiery little Pokémon makes this trait even hotter with the guaranteed ATK buff from Flame Charge. 🔥

      Complementing it is Fire Punch, a cheap Charged Move that helps burn through shields. 👊 However, despite these offensive perks, keep in mind that Darumaka has a wildly low DEF stat, making it vulnerable to high-damage Fast Moves. 😶‍🌫️

      Darumaka is too underpowered for the Great, Ultra, and 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.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza

              Catch probability with multiple throws

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