Effect

Catch rate ×1.5

Chance of catching

You only throw once a wild is beaten, so the odds come down to its capture rate and the ball. Every throw is a roll, and a miss spends the ball.

Target Chance With a type medal
Common pocket monster (capture rate 255) 47.8% 95.6%
Most species (capture rate 45) 4.4% 8.8%
The toughest you can meet (capture rate 25) 2.4% 4.9%

A shiny is far harder — its chance is cut to a twentieth of these. Catching while you are away is slightly worse, since the idle farm leaves a wild a little healthier. Only the Master Ball ignores all of it.

Zone drops

Rolled on top of the material drop each time a wild is defeated in that zone. The chance shown is per defeat, and it is the same whether you are watching or idling — an idle hunt rolls exactly the same table. An idle hunt simply gets through fewer defeats, because it stops when your party is down.

Delve chest

Rolled from the chest at the end of a cleared delve. Deeper runs roll more times and open up better tables, so the level shown is where this can first appear — the share is one roll's odds.
