Catch rate: Difference between revisions

The only thing that needs to be updated here is a link... and someone thinking that Munna was available in Gen IV, apparently. That aside, we could use some info about the critical capture rate in games with multiple regional 'Dexes.

{{incomplete|section|In X and Y, how is the critical capture rate multiplier determined prior to obtaining the National Dex? In SwSh and SV, are the DLC Pokédexes factored into the rate?}}
Since [[Generation V]], when a Poké Ball is thrown, a special type of capture that is much more likely to catch a Pokémon, called a '''critical capture''' (Japanese: '''捕獲クリティカル''' ''critical capture''), may occur. When a critical capture occurs, the Poké Ball will make a high-pitched whistling sound as it is thrown, then pause in mid-air, and shudder before it drops down to the ground, shaking only once on the ground before the Pokémon escapes or is caught.
