Optimize Your Catch Strategy
Tired of wasting Ultra Balls on a legendary that just won't stay in? Our Pokemon Catch Rate Calculator uses the official Gen 3-9 capture mechanics to estimate your success chance per throw.
Key Factors
- HP: The lower the HP, the higher the rate. False Swipe is your friend.
- Status: Sleep and Freeze (2.5x) are better than Paralyze, Burn, or Poison (1.5x).
- Ball: Dusk Balls (3.5x in caves/night) and Timer Balls (up to 4x) can outperform Ultra Balls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What increases catch rate the most?
Putting the Pokemon to sleep or freezing it provides the highest status multiplier (2.5x). Lowering HP to 1 also significantly boosts chances.
Does holding Down+B help?
No, button combinations do not affect the RNG (Random Number Generator) of the catch. It is a myth!
