Catch rate: Difference between revisions

* Any active {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}} (in [[Generation V]]), [[O-Power]]s (in [[Generation VI]]), or {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}} (in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})

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.
