Gen VIII Catch Rate Calculator

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

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

Game: Sword/Shield Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl

Is this a raid battle?

Pokémon:

Pokémon's level:

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

Ball:

Status:

Pokémon's form:

Current turn (in a raid, this is the turn after you win - if you win turn 1, you throw the ball turn 2):

Are you fishing?

Are you fighting on or in water?

Do you have this Pokémon registered in your Pokédex?

Is it nighttime or are you inside a cave (raid dens are NOT caves)?

Event raid?

Gigantamax raid?

Raid host?

Event raid catch difficulty:
You can find this under "Host/Non-Host Catch Rate" on Project Pokémon.

Your Pokémon's level:

Story incomplete? (if you have NOT yet obtained the eighth badge, check this box)

Do you have the Catching Charm item?

Total Pokémon registered caught in Pokédex (if you're playing Sw/Sh with the Expansion Pass, unfortunately this number is not visible in-game; in BD/SP, it's the National Pokédex caught number)

In mystery terrain? (still unknown; you probably aren't)

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.
