: This definitely requires more research -- after playing through the game I never once got any "obvious" impression of the catch rate being different from previous generations.  (Of course, I was usually about level-matched with the wild Pokemon in question.)  [[Max Raid Battle]] catch rates are (by now) documented on their own page, with the host having a higher catch rate than guests and the base rate being different for Gigantamax forms.  --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 02:06, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

: Okay, here is a "quick" experiment:
::* Given: postgame (8 Gym badges & Champion status)
::* Lead Pokemon: a Lv.100 Noctowl
::* Area: [[Galar Route 1]]
::* Target(s): any visible wild Pokemon ({{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Nickit}})
:::These Pokemon all have a catch rate = 255 (expected catch probability: 44% per throw)
::* Throwing a standard Poke Ball on turn 1 until caught
: After throwing 100 Poke Balls, my data:
:: Normal throws (catch/miss ratio): 55:7 (88% success)
:: Critical throws: 36:2, or 95%
: This was approximately 2x the expected catch rate.  Hmm...
