Hmm... since the Master Ball CAN fail (albeit the chances are astronomical), does that mean the Park Ball will fail too? They are both 255 times more potent than a regular Pokeball, so... what WOULD happen if the Park Ball failed, if it could?

:You know that's a good question. I'm assuming that you won't be able to get the Pokémon you sent over, unless it would let you go and find it again. --[[User:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><font color="red">'''Land'''</font>]][[User talk:Landfish7|<span style="font-family:Tahoma;background:black"><small><font color="yellow">'''fish7'''</font></small></span></span>]]''' 21:57, 1 January 2011 (UTC) | :You know that's a good question.

The Master Ball CANNOT fail within the current parameters in the latest games. If you read the [[Catch rate]] article, the variable ''a'' would equal 255 with maximum HP, no status condition, and the Master Ball, the "worst case scenario" when using it ((3xHPmax - 2xHPmax) * 3 * 1 * 255 / 3xHPmax). Since the probability of catching a Pokemon is 1 if ''a'' equals 255, it will always work. The Youtube info only refers to RBGY. I don't know why the trivia is there; it should be removed as it's patently false. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 03:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
