Catching it in a regular Poké Ball is definitely not the inexplicable bit in this scenario; people catch legendaries in regular Poké Balls all the time. Depending on its HP and status and which game you're playing, it's lucky but far, far more likely than finding a shiny, much less a Pokémon with perfect IVs.

You just select Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres - if the form matters, it'll show a field where you can pick the form.

It does show your critical capture odds, e.g. "You have a 1.953% chance of a critical capture, which then has a 58.791% chance of succeeding. Failing that, you have a 11.946% chance of succeeding with a normal capture. All in all, this amounts to a 12.861% chance per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 6 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 22 balls." If it doesn't say anything about a chance of a critical capture, then there's no chance of a critical capture with what you've input into the calculator - note that the critical capture chance depends on the total Pokémon caught in your Pokédex, so if you left that as 0, you'll always get no chance of a critical capture.

The calculator is useful but I’d love a line that tells me my crit capture odds, even if it doesn’t change based on mon it’ll be useful to those who haven’t memorized it

According to The Forbidden Leaks(TM), Gibble was what they initially wanted to name it. It was rejected by legal, for whatever reason

Very helpful calculator. Although knowing the odds can be more painful—I didn't catch a parasect after a full 30 safari balls (<1.3% odds by my working).

Aww, thank you! I'm always delighted when people who used to visit when they were kids come back and are psyched to see the site is still here and active.
