        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        This Normal/Ground-type rabbit better stay underground as it doesn’t make any form of impact in PvE. 🥲

        ⚔️ Raids

        The Normal-type doesn’t hold any value in Raids, and even as a Ground-type Pokémon, Shadow Diggersby isn’t strong enough to deal significant damage.

        🛡️ Gyms

        With its bulk reduced by the Shadow effect, you’d be better off using regular Diggersby instead. 🐰

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Diggersby was popularly known as the "Great League Groudon" due to its similar moveset of Mud Shot, Fire Punch, and Earthquake. 🙂

        Over time, Diggersby received moveset upgrades and remains a force to be reckoned with thanks to its tankiness. But what does the Shadow version bring? Unfortunately, it loses bulk and is a visible downgrade. 😓

        🔵 Great League

        With Shadow Diggersby compromising on the factor that makes Diggersby special (its bulk), you're better off using the regular one instead. 🫠

        🟡 Ultra League

        Shadow Diggersby barely goes over 1500 CP, making it useless in the Ultra League.

        🟣 Master League

        The Master League is left to brutes like Groudon, not Shadow Diggersby. 😅

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Shadow Diggersby's Normal and Ground-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Shadow Diggersby.

        Normal Normal

        Ground Ground

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega 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 Bonus –While 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 Shadow Diggersby, 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.

                  Catch rate multipliers
