        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        With the addition of Frenzy Plant to its movepool, Meowscarada becomes the strongest Grass-type starter. However, it will eventually be surpassed by Rillaboom. 🍃

        That said, Meowscarada will still be a worthy addition to your Grass-type team, so don’t hesitate to power it up!

        ⚔️ Raids

        A superb Raid attacker thanks to its high ATK and powerful moveset. But keep in mind that Meowscarada is a glass cannon, meaning you’ll have to dodge to maximize its potential. ‼️

        🛡️ Gyms

        Meowscarada is very fragile, leaving it out of the Gym defense equation.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Let’s be clear about something: Grass types aren’t contenders in PvP unless they have bulk, a great sub-typing, or a solid moveset. Meowscarada fails in this regard. ☹️

        Meowscarada is glassy, has an awkward PvP moveset, and is surpassed in its typing by other Grass/Dark types. A disappointing performance, to be honest. 🙁

        🔵 Great League

        With Meowscarada’s stats oriented towards offense, its already low bulk gets squeezed down to sad levels. It needs a better moveset to be considered worth running in this format.

        🟡 Ultra League

        There’s no sugarcoating it: Meowscarada is bad in PvP. 👎 While slightly better than its disastrous Great League run, the term “better” is setting very low standards here.

        🟣 Master League

        Zarude is the superior Grass/Dark type in the Master League, and Meowscarada is nowhere close to that. Leave Meowscarada to the PvE scene.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Meowscarada

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Meowscarada's Grass and Dark-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Meowscarada.

        Grass Grass

        Dark Dark

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. 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.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

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