Catch rate ×0.65

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) 10.8% 21.5%
Most species (capture rate 45) 1.9% 3.8%
The toughest you can meet (capture rate 25) 1.1% 2.1%

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.
