Shadow Muk in the meta

PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Poison Attacker:Poison Jab Gunk Shot

With an already low ATK, Shadow Muk is not strong enough for relevance in Raids. The lowered DEF doesn't help its cause in Gyms either.

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Poison Jab Thunder Punch Dark Pulse
Ultra League:Poison Jab Dark Pulse Thunder Punch
Master League:Poison Jab Thunder Punch Dark Pulse

🔵 Great League

Limited offensive coverage and an awkward moveset already puts Muk way behind its Alolan counterpart in the Great League. Shadow Muk is unfortunately worse than regular Muk, losing Kingdra, Feraligatr, Seaking, and Shadow Annihilape. Not to mention, even the Shadow boost doesn't help it beat Togekiss. It's just a bad idea to run Shadow Muk in the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Once again, the loss of bulk makes Shadow Muk inferior to regular Muk, which isn't particularly good in the first place! 😅 The Shadow variant, aside from being unable to beat most of the meta, also loses to Blastoise, Shadow Drapion, Lickilicky, and Tentacruel. As such, Shadow Muk isn't a Pokémon you'd count on for rising in the GBL Ranks.

🟣 Master League

Shadow Muk doesn't make the cut for the Master League.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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