Pokemon Catch Rate Calculator – Calculate Your Chances

About the Pokemon Catch Rate Calculator

Welcome to the most advanced Pokemon Catch Rate Calculator on the web. Whether you are playing Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (Gen 9) or revisiting classics like FireRed or Emerald, this tool helps you determine the exact probability of catching any Pokemon.

Unlike basic calculators, our tool features a Live Battle Tracker that adjusts odds in real-time as turns pass (essential for Timer Balls) and a Resource Estimator to help you prepare your inventory before a legendary encounter.

How to Use This Tool

• Select Pokemon: Type the name of the Pokemon. We fetch its base catch rate automatically.
• Set Conditions: Adjust the HP slider and apply status conditions like Sleep or Paralysis. Sleep provides the highest bonus (2.5x).
• Choose Your Ball: Select the Pokeball you intend to use. The calculator supports special conditions for Net Balls, Dusk Balls, and more.
• Track Turns: Use the "Live Battle Tracker" to count turns. This automatically updates the effectiveness of Quick Balls (Turn 1) and Timer Balls (Turn 10+).

Tips for Catching Difficult Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon often have a base catch rate of 3, making them extremely difficult to capture. To maximize your odds:

1. False Swipe: Use the move False Swipe to safely lower the target's HP to 1 without fainting it.
2. Status is Key: Always apply Sleep (2.5x multiplier) or Freeze. If you can't, Paralysis (1.5x) is a permanent status that doesn't wear off.
3. Sandwich Power (Gen 9): In Scarlet & Violet, eating a sandwich with "Catching Power" for the specific type can double your catch rate.
4. Critical Capture: Completing your Pokedex increases your Critical Capture chance, which bypasses three of the four shake checks.
