In the following sections, we'll highlight the rare Pokémon in each Safari zone and give specific advice where applicable. If this number is less than or equal to a, the Pokémon is caught. X Research source When you throw a ball, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. Where HP max is the Pokémon's maximum HP, HP current is the Pokémon's current HP, rate modified is the catch rate of the Pokémon modified by the ball used (every Pokémon and every ball modifies this in a certain way, and bonus status is the modifier for any status condition (sleep and freeze are 10, all others are 0).

As an example of the sort of equation used in the games to determine whether certain Pokémon are captured, consider the equation from the Generation games (Gold and Silver):Ī = max((3 × HP max - 2 × HP current) × rate modified / (3 × HP max), 1) + bonus status.Though the specifics of every game's equations are too complicated to explore in depth here, a great place to start is Bulbapedia's catch rate article, which has each game's capture equations and a section on how Safari Zone mechanics effect capture rates. Avid Pokémon players have analyzed these equations for each game to determine the best ways to catch Pokémon. In Pokémon, the likelihood of capturing a certain Pokémon when you throw a pokéball is determined by a math equation that takes into account a variety of variables, like its remaining HP, any status effects it is suffering, and more. Consider exploring the math of capture mechanics.
