PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Water Attacker:Bug Bite Bubble Beam
Bug Attacker:Bug Bite Bug Buzz

Shadow or not, Araquanid is not a Raid Pokémon. In Gyms, you should rather go with regular Araquanid due to the higher bulk.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Bug Bite Bubble Beam Water Pulse
Ultra League:Bug Bite Water Pulse Bug Buzz

🔵 Great League

Araquanid is impressive in the Great League, but Shadow Araquanid is even better. It manages to overcome Annihilape, something the non-Shadow variant embarrassingly doesn't beat. Moreover, it also takes out Fairy types like Wigglytuff, Togekiss, Clefable, and Galarian Weezing, as well as Shadow Empoleon and Lickilicky.

Sure, it struggles against Charjabug and Shadow Steelix, but Shadow Araquanid is overall fantastic and a major threat in this meta.

With a max CP of only 2065, Shadow Araquanid isn't strong enough for the other PvP Leagues.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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