      Therian Forme Thundurus in the meta

      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Thundurus Therian boasts a high ATK stat of 295, giving it an edge over several other Electric types in DPS. Its access to the incredibly powerful Wildbolt Storm (signature move) is another advantage, placing it just behind Xurkitree in damage output (excluding Megas and Shadows). ⚡⚡

      That said, Thundurus Therian is quite fragile, so frequent dodging is necessary to maximize its performance. 👀

      💎 Best PvE moveset: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm

      ⚔️ Raids

      A top-tier Electric-type DPS pick, Thundurus Therian is undoubtedly strong in the meta. When battling Water-type Raid Bosses, be cautious of Ice-type attacks, as this Pokémon won’t withstand them well. ‼️

      🛡️ Gyms

      Legendaries can't be placed in Pokémon GO Gyms.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Thundurus Therian just doesn’t fit in the Great League and is terrible in the Ultra League. In the Master League, it’s also not a top pick, but it does secure significant wins against Yveltal, Togekiss, Melmetal, Ho-Oh, Zacian (Hero), Xerneas, and Kyogre.

      For a more reliable Electric-type option, go with Zekrom instead. 🌩️

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.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Therian Forme Thundurus, 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.
