The rarity of the Pokémon (i.e. how often it appears in the wild) is independent of its catch rate after it is encountered. Even rare Pokémon may have high catch rates, making them relatively easy to catch in battle, such as {{p|Nosepass}}, who has a catch rate of 255. | The rarity of the Pokémon (i.e. how often it appears in the wild) is independent of its catch rate after it is encountered.

The probability of a critical capture occurring depends of the number of Pokémon that have been caught in the Pokédex. First, compute the value of ''a'' (the modified catch rate) as shown in the appropriate section above. Then, multiply ''a'' by the appropriate multiplier from the table below. | The probability of a critical capture occurring depends of the number of Pokémon that have been caught in the Pokédex.

Finally, divide the result by 6 and round down to the nearest integer. Call this final result ''c''. A random number between 0 and 255 is generated; if it is less than ''c'', a critical capture will occur. Overall, this means the critical capture chance ranges from 0 (if 30 or fewer species have been caught) to about 41.67% of the modified capture rate ''a'' (if over 600 species have been caught). | Finally, divide the result by 6 and round down to the nearest integer.
