The calculation of '''catch rate''' is among the several mechanics that differ in [[Pokémon GO]] compared to the [[core series]]. Every {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species of Pokémon}} is assigned a '''base capture rate''', a raw percentage that determines how difficult that species is to capture. This base rate is then modified by several factors, such as the wild Pokémon's [[Power Up]] level and how skillfully the player threw the [[Poké Ball]], to determine the final catch rate.

The color of the target ring allows players to gauge the probability of a successful capture, factoring in all bonuses for <math>modifier</math> except for <math>Throw</math> and <math>Curveball</math>. Switching Poké Balls or feeding Berries may change the color of the ring. The greener the ring, the higher the catch rate; the redder it is, the lower the catch rate. For {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, the ring's color uses a [[List of Pokémon by catch rate (GO)|base catch rate]] of 5%, while the true catch chance uses the species' base catch rate.
