:<s>Wait, shouldn't it be fourth root?  The article says there's needs to be one shake check to pass instead of ''four'' normally. [[User:AySz88|AySz88]] 05:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)</s>

::: Fourth roots and third roots never happen in game. The b equation listed is just a probability of you catching (ie all the shake compares lumped together). It does a*0x100 < rand(0,65535) for a shake calc. 4 times for gen 3-4, 3x for gen 5 after criticalcapture. That's the one gripe I have about this page, the mathematical approximations aren't what the game does. [[User:Kaphotics|Kaphotics]] 19:22, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
