The probability of a critical capture depends of the number of Pokémon that has previously been caught in the Pokédex. First, compute the value of ''a'' (the modified catch rate), as above. Then, whether or not this value is less than 255 (above which the Pokémon is caught regardless of whether or not it is a critical capture), multiply this value by the following:
