If ''a'' is greater than or equal to 255, then the Pokémon is caught. If not, then calculate ''b'' as follows: | If ''a'' is greater than or equal to 255, then the Pokémon is caught. If not, then calculate ''b'' as follows: | ||

Then generate 4 random numbers between 0 and 65535, inclusive. If the random numbers are | Then generate 4 random numbers between 0 and 65535, inclusive. If the random numbers are greater than or equal to ''b'', then the Pokémon is caught; otherwise the ball shakes ''n'' times, where ''n'' is the number of random numbers that are less than ''b''. Note that ''b'' ≥ 65535 if ''a'' ≥ 255. | ||
