PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Infestation Body Slam Seed Bomb
Ultra League:Infestation Body Slam Seed Bomb

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

🔵 Great League

Shadow Garbodor just isn’t cut out for PvP, losing to the likes of Clodsire, Mandibuzz, Azumarill, and more.

🟡 Ultra League

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

🟣 Master League

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

Catch probability with multiple throws

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