Looking at the pokefirered decompilation, the check is the same as in RSE: [[https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/src/battle_script_commands.c#L9032 Source]] {{unsigned|AsparagusEduardo}} | Looking at the pokefirered decompilation, the check is the same as in RSE: [[https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/src/battle_script_commands.c#L9032 Source]] {{unsigned|AsparagusEduardo}} | ||
== Generation I "Great ball better than Ultra" == | |||
Upon reading the Gen I article i got very confused by this: | |||
"Due to the nature of the algorithm, Ultra Balls will only perform better than Great Balls on Pokémon whose capture rates are above 55 and below 200 in Generation I. Ultra Balls increase the overall chance of capture by as much as 20% in comparison to Great Balls for Pokémon near the center of that range." | |||
This is not at all what the full algorithm description says, neither what the formula says. The only benefit of great ball is on step 6 when the pokémon has more than 1/3 hp. I would guess that the contributor forgot to say that his statement is only valid against 100% hp pokémons? Which is not a very useful info anyway. | |||
