About Gen V Capture Mechanics
In Gen V, the capture formula is:
X = (((3M - 2H) * G * C * B) / (3M)) * S * E / 100 where:
- M: Pokémon's max HP
- H: Pokémon's current HP
- G: Dark Grass Modifier (depends on caught Pokémon count)
- C: Base catch rate of the Pokémon
- B: Ball bonus (based on the type of ball and conditions)
- S: Status bonus (2.5 for sleep/frozen, 1.5 for other status conditions, 1 for none)
- E: Entralink Power modifier (1.2, 1.5, or 2.0)
Gen V also introduced Critical Captures, which can instantly catch a Pokémon with a single shake check instead of three. The chance of a critical capture depends on how many Pokémon you've caught.
