Certain other factors, such as the target Pokémon's level, may also factor in depending on the type of Poké Ball used or the generation.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, if ''rate<sub>modified<sub>'' is negative, it is instead set to zero; this has the side effect of making {{p|Beldum}} and the [[Guardian deities]] impossible to catch in a Heavy Ball in these games. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} onward, ''rate<sub>modified<sub>'' is instead set to 1, making those Pokémon available for capture again.
In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, if ''rate<sub>modified<sub>'' is negative, it is instead set to zero. As a consequence, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than 220.46&nbsp;lbs (100.0&nbsp;kg) and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. The only catchable Pokémon that this affects are {{p|Beldum}} and the [[guardian deities]]. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} onward, ''rate<sub>modified<sub>'' is instead set to 1, making those Pokémon possible to catch with a Heavy Ball.


As with Generation VI, the only factor that is different is <math>passPower</math>, only being used by [[Roto Catch]], which is 2 if it is active, or 1 otherwise.

The game makes two shake checks, checking ''b'' against a random number between 0 and 65535. If the first check is passed, then the ball will make a low bounce and capture the Pokémon. If the second check is passed, then the ball will make a high bounce and capture the Pokémon. If both checks fail, then the ball will make a high bounce but the Pokémon will escape. If ''a'' is less than zero, then capture is impossible and the Pokémon will escape without a bounce. The third starter Pokémon is coded to always fail capture on the first attempt.

This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied. The only catchable Pokémon that this affects are {{p|Beldum}} and the [[guardian deities]]. This error was corrected in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
