This kind of tool is super handy for anyone who spends time playing the Gen VI and VII Pokémon games. Catch rates can be confusing because so many factors play into them — the type of Poké Ball you’re using, the Pokémon’s status condition, and its remaining HP. Having a calculator that puts all of that together saves players from a lot of guesswork and frustration. I also like that it links back to the full capture mechanics page, since that gives players a deeper understanding of how the math works behind the scenes. For both casual players who just want to know their odds and competitive players who plan out every step, this calculator feels like a really valuable resource.

This is awesome! A dedicated Gen VI/VII catch rate calculator is exactly what I needed. I appreciate the links to the other generation calculators and the explanation of where to find more detailed information on the mechanics. Really helpful!
Oh I see, thank you!
It's just the total number of species you have ever caught (or possessed). The seventh-generation games unfortunately don't show this, although the Alola Pokédex caught number will be equivalent if you haven't traded for any Pokémon that don't exist in the Alola dex.
may i ask what the "caught" number in the national dex is referring to?
No in-game situation has been discovered that corresponds to the mystery terrain condition, so it can almost certainly be safely ignored. If you do bump into results that seem impossible (failing to catch a Pokémon that the calculator finds to be guaranteed), please do let me know and explain the circumstances of the capture attempt!
Hay forma de saber si estoy en terreno misterioso?
absolutely love this resource thank u sm. has not increased my tapu bulu catch rates but its nice to know im just extremely unlucky

The way the formula works, there are absolutely no Pokémon that are impossible to catch with a Great Ball. I don't know what you're doing or why you're saying a level 12 Oricorio in particular can't, but have you tried just throwing more balls? Sometimes you simply get unlucky.
A Level 12 Oricorio can't be caught with a Great Ball. Please fix the calculator.
@Alex: The Let’s Go games have completely different capture mechanics, so none of this calculator would make sense for them, and none of the Let’s Go stuff would make sense for this one. If I were to add a Let’s Go capture calculator, it would be a completely separate calculator. I might do that eventually, but it’s not my highest priority.
The Let’s Go games are missing. They are gen VII so you need to add them on here.
the move is called final gambit
i am playing a randomlocke, and the stupid gardevoir used sacrifice
