PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Water Attacker:Bubble Hydro Pump
Fighting Attacker:Counter *Dynamic Punch

⚔️ Raids

Poliwrath is a Pokémon with balanced stats, leaning more toward bulk, which makes it underwhelming as a raid attacker. In raids, you benefit more from Pokémon that deal big damage in the smallest amount of time possible, and with its best DPS being 12.13, Poliwrath is not one of them.

Nevertheless, as a Fighting-type raid attacker, Poliwrath prefers using Counter and Dynamic Punch, and is strong against Normal, Rock, Ice, Steel, and Dark types. As a Water-type raid attacker, Poliwrath makes use of Bubble and Hydro Pump, being strong against Pokémon weak to Water-type moves.

However, it’s worth noting that there are better-performing options in either type category, making Poliwrath as a raid attacker potentially not worth the investment.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Mud Shot Icy Wind Dynamic Punch
Ultra League:Counter Icy Wind Scald
Master League:Counter Scald Icy Wind

🔵 Great League

Poliwrath was actually one of the best Fighting-type Pokémon in the Great League for a while. It had access to both Counter and Scald, two of the best moves at that time. However, we now live in a reality where both moves have been rebalanced. Nevertheless, Poliwrath is still a decent pick for the Great League.

Its balanced stats, which make it undesirable as a raid attacker, work to its benefit here. Poliwrath is just bulky enough to survive a few hits while dishing out good damage itself. It also has access to Icy Wind to debuff the opponent’s attack stat and further increase its survivability.

🟡 Ultra League

Much of the same applies to the Ultra League as well. In fact, Poliwrath works even better here as it can take down some high-profile opponents such as Guzzlord, Lickilicky, Greninja, and Registeel.

🟣 Master League

Poliwrath, being a Pokémon with a Max CP of 2923, just cannot compete in the legendary-dominated Master League, where the meta is ruled by Pokémon with very high stats.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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