Shadow Fletchling in the meta

PvE Analysis

As the base of a three-stage evolution line, Shadow Fletchling has lowly stats that don't help even with the Shadow boost. Keep this bird out of Raids and Gyms, and focus on evolving it all the way to Talonflame.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Shadow Fletchling is a neat addition to the Little Cup meta, packing extra power in its spammy moveset of Quick Attack and Aerial Ace, and the powerful Fly. This makes it deadly in both shielded and unshielded scenarios, though it struggles against hard-hitting Fast Moves like Confusion, Bite, and Dragon Tail.

It's a great attacker overall, practically just behind Shadow Ducklett in Flying-type offense. 🪽

Shadow Fletchling is too weak for any other PvP League.

💎 The best PvP moves for Shadow Fletchling are Quick Attack, Fly and Aerial Ace.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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