Frequently Asked Questions
The formula used is: Catch Probability = min(1, (HP Factor * Base Catch) / 255), where HP Factor = (3 * Max HP - 2 * Current HP) / (3 * Max HP) and Base Catch = Species Catch Rate * Ball Bonus * Status Bonus * Badge Bonus.
Common Pokemon like Pidgey have a catch rate of 255, while Legendaries like Mewtwo have a catch rate of 45. Rare Pokemon may have rates around 45-190.
Status conditions like Sleep or Freeze double the catch rate (2x), while Paralysis, Poison, or Burn increase it by 1.5x. No status gives 1x.
