What is a Catch Rate?
Catch rate is a numerical value assigned to all Pokémon that determines how likely they are to be caught in a Poké Ball during an encounter. This value is influenced by several factors, including the Pokémon's remaining HP, maximum HP, the type of Poké Ball used, and any modifiers like status effects. A higher catch rate means a higher probability of success, while a lower catch rate means the Pokémon is more challenging to catch. Understanding the mechanics behind catch rates helps players make strategic decisions about which tools and techniques to use in capturing their desired Pokémon.
