      Emolga in the meta

      Emolga in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Emolga is another run-of-the-mill Pikachu clone, and just like the iconic Pokémon, Emolga’s stats are also low.

      Naturally, it shouldn’t be used in raids or gyms by any means. 😅

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      💥 The best PvP moveset for Emolga is Thunder Shock, Discharge, and Acrobatics.

      🔵 Great League

      • Just like lightning, Emolga has a fast moveset that puts the Great League meta on notice.
      • Thunder Shock helps Discharge and Acrobatics charge up quickly, making it a threat to Water, Flying, Fighting, and Grass-types. 😎
      • Emolga often steamrolls opponents, but keep in mind that it can’t take too many hits.
      • Think of it as a mini Zapdos.

      🟡 Ultra League

      • Emolga maxes out at 1847 CP, so it isn’t viable for the Ultra League.

      🟣 Master League

      • NO.

      Mega Pokémon that boost Emolga

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Emolga's Electric and Flying-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Emolga.

      Electric Electric

      Flying Flying

      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 Emolga, 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.
