How to Get Shiny Oddish in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, the strongest route to a Shiny Oddish is Catch Combo, which reaches about 1 in 274 at full boosts. Pick a method and tune your setup below to see live odds. Compare Shiny Oddish odds across every game
Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Oddish Calculator
2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Oddish Evolutions
Three stages ahead. Oddish grows into Gloom, then pushes on to Vileplume. Check the evolution methods below. The evolved forms gain up to 170 total stats over Oddish. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Let's Go Oddish Best Moveset
Grass/Poison pre-evolution at 75 Sp. Atk and 30 Speed. The moveset is too slow and too weak to function at any stage. Evolve through to Vileplume for the 110 Sp. Atk that gives the TermStab real power.
Best Build
Oddish Candy
Smart Candy+SPAQuiet raises Sp. Atk and lowers Speed. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Blue, then Pink. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
Candy for Oddish
- Oddish Candy
- Smart Candy
Smart Candy L
Smart Candy XL
Oddish Candy raises every stat, but only Oddish, Gloom and Vileplume can eat it. The stat candy that goes with Oddish is Smart Candy (Sp. Atk), and any Pokemon can eat it; Smart Candy L needs level 30 and Smart Candy XL needs level 60 or higher.
Master Trainer
Amy battles with one level 65 Oddish that knows Sludge Bomb. It takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Flying and Psychic moves. Win to earn the Oddish Master title. Find Amy in Viridian City.
Moves List
A solid spread overall. Oddish gets Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb for same-type damage alongside Fairy and Normal coverage. It won't blow anyone away, but it doesn't leave you stuck either.
