Preferred Moveset: Mud Shot / Bubble, Mud Bomb & Scald*

🔵 Great League

Shadow Poliwhirl doesn’t perform quite as well as the non-shadow version on paper, meaning the investment is unlikely to be worth it for you—unless you are drowning in stardust and XL Poliwag candy! Losing to Pokémon like Stunfisk and Marowak (which take super effective damage from Poliwhirl!) is disappointing and means Poliwhirl is likely to be sitting on the reserve bench until the right limited cup meta.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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