Indeed, there seems to be something off with either this formula or the listed CatchRates. Those that site sources site Meowth346 as their source, so maybe he knows, or can find out. Every site I could find has the exact same formula, and they all say the random number is between 0-255.
Ultraball catch rate abra level 12 full#
using the formula for any pokémon at any level with full HP and no status ailments with a catch rate of 255 gives an output of 511. The formula does not return a percentage, it returns a number, and in order to capture a Pokémon, the randomly generated number between 0 and 255 (or possibly a higher number than that, say, 511) has to be below the number you obtain from this formula. But then again, methinks you might be misinterpreting the results of using this formula. Any other thoughts on the matter? -Wild EepĮxperimental data isn't the same as theoretical results. Despite the sample size, the fact that the Pokémon escaped even once is enough to raise concern about the formula. I caught 5 Pokémon on Route 1 of FireRed without weakening any of them and I used 15 Pokéballs. But there isn't a 200% chance or even a 100% chance. Pidgey and Rattata), the formula says that there should be about a 200% chance to catch a Pidgey at 100% HP. 刘 (劉) 振霖 09:40, (GMT) Is this formula accurate?Ĭhance = floor (((( TotalHP * 4 ) - ( CurrentHP * 2 )) * CatchRate ) / TotalHP ) + Status + 1 It simply means conversion to integer, which could be rounding or truncating. In any case, trunc() and floor() are the same, but int() is ambiguous. In any case, the after revision is the right-side column. He was just editing it to make it consistent with my other changes. Zhen's edit and your subsequent reversion, if I read the history right. What was that in reference to? - Jshadias "round(" would make a value like 6.9 become 7 "int(" would make it 6. The computer science term for "Floor" is, in fact, "int(", which simply truncates the number.
