Gen III/IV Catch Rate Calculator

To approximate your chances of catching any Pokémon in the third- and fourth-generation Pokémon games, enter the appropriate information below. To learn more about how this works, see the Gen III/IV Capture Mechanics page.

Shadow Pokémon? No Yes (Colosseum) Yes (XD) If you are playing Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the GameCube and this Pokémon is a Shadow Pokémon, select the appropriate option.

Pokémon:

Pokémon's level:

Approximation of current HP:
% HP left
Exactly 1 HP (using False Swipe)

Ball:

Status:
Note that in Ruby and Sapphire only, if the Pokémon is badly poisoned, it does not count as poisoned.

Your Pokémon's level:

Current turn:

Are you fishing?

Are you underwater using Dive (R/S/E) or fishing/surfing (D/P/Pt/HG/SS)?

Do you have this Pokémon registered in your Pokédex?

Is it nighttime or are you inside a cave?

Show detailed report? 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.
