If a Pokémon could have 0 HP, the maximum value for ''a'' would be rate × bonus<sub>ball</sub> × bonus<sub>status</sub>. For a Pokémon with full health and no status condition, and with a neutral ball used, the minimum value for ''a'' would be rate / 3. | |||
The formula is slightly different when applied to the [[Apricorn]] balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The modifiers for these balls are applied directly to the Pokémon's catch rate, rather than in the formula. In this case, bonus<sub>ball</sub> is always 1, and the catch rate cannot go higher than 255. This means that for Pokémon whose catch rate is already 255, such as {{p|Rattata}}, the Apricorn balls do not make the capture any more likely than a regular Poké Ball. | The formula is slightly different when applied to the [[Apricorn]] balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
