Shadow Charjabug in the meta

PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Bug Attacker:Bug Bite X-Scissor
Electric Attacker:Spark Discharge

Shadow Charjabug is a bug and electric dual-type Pokémon. It’s the second of a three-stage evolutionary line and is more defense-oriented; as such, it is not an ideal candidate for a raid attacker.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Volt Switch X-Scissor Discharge

🔵 Great League

Charjabug is a solid Great League Pokémon depending on the meta. Volt Switch, while having a slow animation, is also a fast attack that can reliably do damage and charge up energy. As such, Charjabug can rack up some damage with X-Scissor and Discharge, which it can get to pretty quickly. It’s got decent bulk, too, which helps it out. While Shadow Charjabug isn’t a direct upgrade to Charjabug, it is an interesting side grade that will feel different to use with the higher attack.

🟡 Ultra League

With a max CP of 1919, Charjabug is too weak for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

With a max CP of 1919, Charjabug is far too weak for the Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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