PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Frillish has decent stats, but its moveset is not threatening enough to beat most opponents. To put it into perspective, Frillish is unable to take down Seel, Deino, Bronzor, Gligar, and Ducklett. 🫤

The only way Frillish gets scary is through the 1.25x ATK boost from Ominous Wind, but that only has a meagre 10% chance 🙁. Also, since this move only deals 45 DMG, many opponents tank it worry-free.

Frillish is not strong enough for the Great, Ultra, and Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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