Gen IX Catch Rate Calculator

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

This tool will calculate your chances of capturing a Pokémon in the ninth-generation games. If you want to know how it works or more about what the results mean, you want the Gen IX capture mechanics page.




Prior to version 1.2.0 of the game, a bug made Ditto impossible to capture in any ball other than a Heavy Ball if it had transformed into a non-default form of a Pokémon. See the capture mechanics page for more details.

Approximation of current HP:



(Adjust this box if the Pokémon has been affected by a move or ability such as Soak, Camouflage or Protean.)

Gender:


Your Pokémon's gender:



(note that Lure Balls do not work properly in earlier versions of the game)




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.

@eXilieaon: Hmm, I don't think I understand. Why do you need the turn field to show up when you don't have the Timer Ball selected?

For net ball there should be a checkbox for having used soak on the opposing pokemon so we can see the boost it would have even if the selected mon isnt water or bug type

@Alex: There is already an option to do that for the Level Ball (appears below the ball dropdown if you select Level Ball)! The Nest Ball doesn't need it, since it doesn't depend on your Pokémon's level, only the level of the Pokémon you're trying to catch.

You should add an options for the Nest Ball/Level Ball that lets you put your Pokémon’s level.

@Gabimendas: That's already an option; when you select Repeat Ball, a checkbox appears below it that says "Do you have this Pokémon registered in your Pokédex?"

We should have the option on the repeat ball to select "have you caught this pokemon before?"

They aren't - however, failed critical captures are no longer animated to be distinguishable from a failed non-critical capture. The capture mechanics page explains this.
