    Pro tip by Professor WillowIf you are unable to get Tinkaton with its best moveset, we recommend to use Fairy Wind/Heavy Slam. You will lose around 3.4% DPS and TDO, which makes these moves a viable alternative to Tinkaton's strongest moveset (Fairy Wind/Play Rough).

          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.

                    Catch probability with multiple throws

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

                    Catch rate multipliers
