        The following chart shows Shadow Victreebel's DPS and TDO for every fast and charge attack combination. This chart is useful for comparing the relative strength of Shadow Victreebel's movesets. You can change the weather and the opposing Pokémon to see how it affects the rankings.

        If you are unable to get Shadow Victreebel with its best moveset, we recommend to use Acid/Sludge Bomb. You will lose around 2.8% DPS and TDO, which makes these moves a viable alternative to Shadow Victreebel's strongest moveset (Magical Leaf/Sludge Bomb).

        Legacy Elite Fast and Charge Attacks can only be obtained during special events, or by using an Elite Fast TM or an Elite Charge TM. Legacy moves are marked with an asterisk (*). The table above provides information on different moves Shadow Victreebel has in Pokémon GO, along with their corresponding DPS (Damage per Second) and TDO (Total Damage Output).

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.

                  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.
