PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids - Ivysaur doesn't have the stats to make it to PvE contention 😬

🛡️ Gyms - The huge rose 🌹 on its back makes for a pretty picture in Gyms 📷

🔮 Dynamax Ivysaur is a good Grass-type attacker for Squirtle Max Battles, but evolving it is the charm.

PvP Analysis

🔵 Great League - Unlike most of its peers, Ivysaur is quite viable in the Great League! 😍 Its well-balanced stats help it fit like a glove in this platform, and its moveset combo of Vine Whip and Power Whip make it a scary Grass-type Pokémon 🍃
Additionally, Sludge Bomb helps tackle Fairy Pokémon, fulfilling a great niche ✌🏻

🟡 Ultra League - Ivysaur’s glory sadly starts and ends at the Great League. Don't bother using it in the Ultra League unless you evolve it.

🟣 Master League - This conversation is over 😂

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.

Catch probability with multiple throws

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