PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Tirtouga’s balanced stats work in its favor. Even its Fast Move, Water Gun, is all about balance, sporting 3 DPT and 3 EPT, allowing it to smoothly use Surf and bait shields while Surf deals STAB damage. 🏄

That said, Tirtouga's wins and losses are a mixed bag. It beats Vullaby, Gligar, Greavard, Vulpix, and Lickitung, but loses to the big names of the Little Cup like Bronzor, Seel, Deino, Ducklett, and Wynaut due to limited coverage. A decent Pokémon, but nothing outstanding. 🫠

💎 Tirtouga's best moveset for PvP is Water Gun, Body Slam, and Surf.

🔵 Great League

Tirtouga’s limited coverage becomes a bigger issue in the Great League, where it's unable to beat the major threats of the format. Moreover, there are way better Pokémon to use, so it's best to skip this turtle. 🥲

Tirtouga is pointless in the Ultra and Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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