PvE Analysis

Bug types generally aren't a big deal in PvE, and poor little Wimpod has terrible stats (none of them cross 100) that are meant to keep it far, far away from raids and gyms. 😅

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Wimpod is weak in the Little Cup, its low stats doing it zero favors. But fun fact, Wimpod beats Deino, Wynaut, and Seel, three of the best Little Cup Pokémon. Sadly, those few wins don't cement Wimpod as a usable part of this meta. 🥲

💥 The best moves for Wimpod in the Little Cup are Struggle Bug and Bug Buzz.

Wimpod’s highest CP is just 567, so any other PvP platform is out of bounds.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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