A tool designed for the seventh generation of Pokmon games (Pokmon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon) helps players estimate the probability of capturing a specific Pokmon. This estimation considers factors such as the target Pokmon’s current and maximum HP, any status conditions, and the type of Pok Ball used. An example scenario would be a player determining the optimal ball to use against a weakened, paralyzed Tapu Koko.
Such tools provide valuable assistance in strategizing captures, particularly for legendary or rare Pokmon. Knowing the catch probability empowers players to make informed decisions about resource allocation, such as whether to use a more valuable Pok Ball or inflict further status conditions. This knowledge was especially pertinent in Generation VII, which introduced new Pokmon and altered some capture mechanics. These tools built upon similar resources developed for previous generations, reflecting the enduring community need for optimizing gameplay strategies.
