Stakataka in the meta

PvE Analysis

Boasting an exceptional DEF stat of 298, Stakataka looks poised to be a wall! However, this defensive unit is tainted by a poor HP stat of 156, leaving this Ultra Beast feeling awkward. On top of that, its Rock/Steel typing gives it two double weaknesses: Fighting and Ground. Also, its ATK stat is only decent (213). 😬

Overall, it's not a functional UB. 😶‍🌫️

⚔️ Raids

You can give it a shot against 1-Star Bosses or in high-tier Raids with nearly 20 players, where winning quickly is guaranteed. Otherwise... just don't use it, please. ❌

🛡️ Gyms

Ultra Beasts can't be put in Gyms.

PvP Analysis

Despite its high DEF, the low HP and double weaknesses to two common PvP types (Fighting and Ground) make Stakataka crumble more easily than you'd expect. 🫤 Not to mention, it's also weak to Water, a common sight in PvP.

Ultimately, it’s not worth running Stakataka in the GO Battle League — but yes, it sure looks menacing! So if you're bored, then go ahead… but not if you're trying to increase your GBL Rank!

💎 Stakataka’s best moveset in PvP is Rock Throw, Stone Edge, and Bulldoze.

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

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