Catch probability with multiple throws
In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Yveltal, 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.

Yveltal is a strong Dark/Flying-type Pokémon, serving as a decent Dark-type choice and an excellent Flying-type Pokémon due to its signature move, Oblivion Wing. 😈🪽
💥 The best PvE moves for Yveltal are Gust and Oblivion Wing.
⚔️ Raids
For Dark-type roles, you'd be better off with options like Hydreigon, Tyranitar, Darkrai, or Weavile as non-Mega/non-Shadow choices. ⚫
In the Flying-type meta, Yveltal is just behind the mighty Rayquaza (again, excluding Megas or Shadows). A Flying-type hitter is Yveltal’s best role in Pokémon GO PvE. 😊
🛡️ Gyms
Legendaries aren't allowed to defend Gyms.
