In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, if ''rate<sub>modified<sub>'' is negative, it is instead set to zero; this | 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 lbs (100.0 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. | ||

* The numbers 255, 4096, and 65536 result from the data types used. 255 is the highest number a single unsigned byte can encode. 4096 is the amount of space an unsigned 12-bit integer can encode. 65536 is the amount of space two unsigned bytes can encode. | * The numbers 255, 4096, and 65536 result from the data types used. 255 is the highest number a single unsigned byte can encode. 4096 is the amount of space an unsigned 12-bit integer can encode. 65536 is the amount of space two unsigned bytes can encode. | ||
