Garbodor in the meta

PvE 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.

PvP 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.

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.
