How hard is it to catch
Its capture rate of 75 is an input to the formula, not a chance — so here is what that number is actually worth with each ball you can get, thrown the way the game throws: at a wild you have already beaten.
| Ball | Chance | With a type medal | Gold per catch |
|---|---|---|---|
Poké Ball
(×0.65)
|
3.2% | 6.3% | 5,687 |
Great Ball
(×1.5)
|
7.3% | 14.6% | 7,393 |
Ultra Ball
(×2.0)
|
9.7% | 19.5% | 11,089 |
Every throw is an independent roll, and a miss spends the ball anyway. The medal column is a maxed type medal for this species' type — the one multiplier here you can grow. A shiny is far harder than any of these, and only the Master Ball ignores the roll entirely.
Gold per catch is the ball's shop price divided by its chance — what an average catch costs you. A stronger ball is usually not the cheaper one: what it buys is fewer throws, which on a hunt you leave running is time and bag space rather than money.
