Critical captures make two shake checks instead of four, thus it appears to increase the odds of capture for Pokémon with lower catch rates (however, it also decreases the odds of capture for Pokémon with higher catch rates). | Critical captures make two shake checks instead of four, thus it appears to increase the odds of capture for Pokémon with lower catch rates (however, it also decreases the odds of capture for Pokémon with higher catch rates). Though it may create higher odds of capture, a critical capture is not a guaranteed catch; it is possible for critical captures to fail. For example, a critical capture against a full-health Pokémon with a catch rate of 3 (such as {{p|Kyurem}}) with a Poké Ball will still only have a 6.26% chance of success, but it is much higher compared to the normal capture's 0.39% chance. | ||
