      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Garbodor is a pure Poison-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2651. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Infestation and Gunk Shot.

      ⚔️ Raids

      Garbodor is sadly rubbish in raids. (Get it?!)

      🛡️ Gyms

      There are much better options available.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Garbodor’s best moveset for PvP is Infestation, Body Slam, and Seed Bomb, but you don’t want to use Garbodor in PvP.

      🔵 Great League

      Garbodor just isn’t cut out for PvP and only barely makes the top 900 in the Great League.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Garbodor would need maxing out to level 50 with XL Candy to even try to compete, and even then, it’s just going to stink up the Ultra League.

      🟣 Master League

      Garbodor will swiftly be sent to the recycling bin if used in the Master League.

      Mega Pokémon that boost Garbodor

      Photobomb

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

      Poison Poison

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega 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 BonusWhile 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 Garbodor, 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.
