1. What Is The Pixelmon Catch Rate Formula?

The Pixelmon catch rate formula calculates the probability of successfully catching a Pokemon based on its health, base catch rate, and various modifiers from Pokeballs and status conditions.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard Pokemon catch rate formula:

\[ Catch Rate = \left( \frac{(3 \times Max HP - 2 \times Current HP) \times Catch Rate \times Ball Modifier}{3 \times Max HP} \right) \times Status Modifier \]

Where:

\( Max HP \) — The Pokemon's maximum health points
\( Current HP \) — The Pokemon's current health points
\( Catch Rate \) — The Pokemon's base catch rate (1-255)
\( Ball Modifier \) — Multiplier based on the Pokeball used
\( Status Modifier \) — Multiplier based on status condition

Explanation: The formula accounts for the Pokemon's health status, with lower HP increasing catch chance, and applies modifiers for different ball types and status conditions.

3. Importance Of Catch Rate Calculation

Details: Understanding catch rates helps players strategize their Pokemon catching approach, conserve resources, and increase success rates when encountering rare Pokemon.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter the Pokemon's max HP, current HP, base catch rate, select the appropriate ball modifier and status condition. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the maximum catch rate value?
A: The maximum catch rate is 255, which represents a 100% catch probability under ideal conditions.

Q2: How do status conditions affect catch rate?
A: Status conditions like sleep and freeze provide a 2x multiplier, while poison, paralyze, and burn provide a 1.5x multiplier to the catch rate.

Q3: Which Pokeball has the highest modifier?
A: The Master Ball has the highest modifier at 3x, guaranteeing capture regardless of other factors.

Q4: Are legendary Pokemon harder to catch?
A: Yes, legendary Pokemon typically have very low base catch rates (often 3-5), making them significantly harder to capture.

Q5: Does the calculator work for all Pokemon games?
A: This calculator uses the standard catch rate formula that applies to most Pokemon games, including Pixelmon mods for Minecraft.
