PvE Analysis

You wouldn't bring a pony to a Raid Battle, would you? Ponyta is not strong enough to be a notable Fire-type attacker, but once it evolves into Rapidash, it becomes a solid Gym defender and a solid budget Fire attacker. Did you know that Nurse Joy had a Ponyta in the anime? Now you know! 🐴🦄

PvP Analysis

Little Cup - Ponyta is a strong contender in the Little Cup, well ranked, but we think it needs a bit more move coverage to rank higher. We recommend Ember, Flame Charge, and Stomp as moves.

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.

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

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