Each time you complete a Pokémon Duel, you’ll access the store and can purchase common store items and choose one free bonus item from the three randomly dropped (or additional item options if you have a Gold Pokeball) items, which include Pokémon catching props. However, it’s important to note that if you run away from a battle, you won’t be able to access the store and get the random rewards.

How to know the probability of catching a Pokémon?

In Pokémon games, the probability of success in capturing a Pokémon is determined by a number of factors, including the Pokémon’s current HP, the Pokémon’s capture rate, the type of Pokeball used, and the Pokémon’s status. Below is a detailed calculation of the capture probability:

Pokémon Catch Rate Formula

The Pokémon catch rate calculation formula involves several key factors.

  • HPmax​: Pokémon’s maximum HP
  • HPcurrent: The Pokémon’s current HP
  • Rate: Pokémon capture rate (catch rate varies from Pokémon, the higher the value, the easier it is to capture)
  • Ball: The catch rate modifier of the Poké Ball (Poké Ballis 1, Great Ball is 1.5, Master Ball is 255, etc.)
  • Status: Pokémon’s status modifier (Normal is 1, Sleep or Frozen is 2, other abnormal states such as Burned, Poisoned, Paralyzed are 1.5)

The formula for calculating the rate of catching a Pokémon is as follows:

  1. a=[(3×HPmax​​−2×HPcurrent​​)/3×HPmax]×Rate×Ball×Status
  2. Substituting ‘a’ into the above formula:catch rate=a/255

Example calculation of catching a pokemon

Assume we catch a Pikachu with a maximum HP of 100 and a current HP of 20, with a capture rate of 190, using a Poké Ball (catch rate modifier of 1.0), and the Pokémon is in a normal status (state modifier of 1), then the calculation process is as follows:
1.Calculate a
a=[(3×100−2×20)/3×100]×190×1.0×1 
  =[(300-40) /300]×190
  =(260/300)×190
  =0.8667×190
  =164.67
2.Caculate catch rate : 
Catch rate=164.67/255≈64.59%
Therefore, our probability of capturing this Pikachu is about 64.59%.
