How hard is it to catch

Its capture rate of 45 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% 6.5% 5,559
Great Ball (×1.5) 7.5% 14.9% 7,227
Ultra Ball (×2.0) 10.0% 19.9% 10,840

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.
