Net Ball Catch Rate Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Net Ball Catch Rate:

\[ R = \left(1 - \left(\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{H_c}{H_m}\right)\right) \cdot (C_s \cdot 1.5) \]

Where:

\(R\) is the net ball catch rate
\(H_c\) is the current HP
\(H_m\) is the maximum HP
\(C_s\) is the species catch rate

What is a Net Ball Catch Rate?

The net ball catch rate is a measure used in Pokémon games to determine the likelihood of successfully catching a Pokémon using a Net Ball. The Net Ball is more effective when used on Bug-type and Water-type Pokémon. The catch rate is influenced by the current HP of the Pokémon, its maximum HP, and its species-specific catch rate. The formula takes these factors into account to provide a more accurate probability of capture.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Current HP (\(H_c\)) = 50
Maximum HP (\(H_m\)) = 100
Species Catch Rate (\(C_s\)) = 30

Using the formula:

\[ R = \left(1 - \left(\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{50}{100}\right)\right) \cdot (30 \cdot 1.5) = 15 \]

The Net Ball Catch Rate is 15.
