The modified catch rate, ''a'', is the catch rate after various factors such as weakening the Pokémon and using stronger Poké Balls are taken into consideration.  A modified catch rate may never fall to 0 (that is, render a Pokémon impossible to capture), but (especially in [[Generation V]], but also appearing to some extent in [[Generation IV]]) may cause the modified rate to fall below its original unmodified catch rate.
