07/30/25: Capture Calculator Fixes

I've made a couple of adjustments/fixes to the various capture calculators:

  • Previously, there was a bug which meant if you had the "Show all" option selected in the ball field, then setting your Pokémon would populate the "Pokémon's form" dropdown with the forms of that Pokémon instead of the forms of the Pokémon you're trying to catch, which would in turn cause problems if the Pokémon you were actually trying to catch didn't have a matching form, locking up the calculator. This should now have been fixed; the "Pokémon's form" box should always be filled with the forms of the Pokémon you're trying to catch.
  • The "Pokémon's form" box was also kind of awkwardly positioned, closer to the options for your own Pokémon than the one you were trying to catch. I did this originally in order to place all the options that appear only for some balls and not others below the ball dropdown, so that you get to them after selecting the ball, but I think the placement probably made it ambiguous what Pokémon it even referred to, so I have moved that box up below the Pokémon selector. I may reconsider this later, but it's the best I've come up with for now.
  • I similarly moved the "Your Pokémon's level" field so that when "Show all" is selected it will show up alongside other fields related to your Pokémon.
  • I have also added a checkbox to specify whether the Pokémon is currently a Water- or Bug-type if the Net Ball (or "Show all") is selected, to account for the possibility of moves such as Soak. The checkbox should be automatically set according to the selected Pokémon/form when you adjust those, but can then be manually adjusted.
  • Safari Ball and Sport Ball can now both be selected in the Gen VIII and Gen IX calculators.

Let me know if you bump into any further oddities. I may fiddle more with the form later but at least hopefully this improves the functionality for now.
