Gen II Catch Rate Calculator

Other catch rate calculators: Gen I, Gen III/IV, Gen V, Gen VI/VII, Gen VIII, Gen IX

This tool can calculate your chances of catching a Pokémon in G/S/C. If you want to know how this works or why it sometimes tells you the game can freeze, see the Gen II Capture Mechanics section.



Approximation of current HP:

Game:



Gender:


Your Pokémon's gender:


If checked, you will see the results for each possible HP IV if they would yield different results; otherwise, you'll see the overall chance assuming you know nothing about the IV. This is only very meaningful at full or exactly 1 HP, since the approximation of the Pokémon's current HP is not exact.

@Hiesetsu Just grind something to level 100, spend multiple days getting as many Level balls as you can, and then each ball has a 5.1% chance regardless of HP/Status. It's clearly the better route :)

Honestly I feel like the catch rates of 3 should be reserved for Mythicals and Mewtwo-tier legendaries like Ho-oh and Lugia, the the minor legendaries like Suicune and Zapdos could probably still have a low catch rate, just not as low as 3.

@Hiesetsu it’s not that ridiculous, Suicune’s catch rate is 3 😓

2.3% chance on suicune with an ultra ball at below 10% HP?! Ridiculous.
