How do Pokemon Shuffle catch rates work?

I recently downloaded Pokemon Shuffle, and not too long ago, I tried catching a Pokemon on the Expert stage. It had at first a 20-ish % catch rate (failed), and then with the great ball, had a 68% chance (also failed). After that, I tried catching the Special Limited Event Pokemon. It only had a 5% catch rate, but I caught it first try. There is only about a 3 percent chance of this happening. Is there some special mechanic to the catch rates, or is pure luck?

Extra catch rate percentage is different depending on how many moves you have left (Or time, in expert mode) when you defeat the Pokemon. For example, Absol have a 1% catch rate. For every 3 or 4 seconds remaining when you defeat it, it has a5%better chance of catching it.Here is a website I found very helpful for Pokemon shuffle. (Translate it first)https://www.pkparaiso.com/shuffle/lista-de-pokemon.phpThe answer is, that the percentage is just giving you an “x out of 100” chance.Whether or not you catch It is completely up to the game. Once I caught a Wobbuffet with a 2% chance, but on the other hand, I couldn’t catch a 98% chance Nidorina.It’s just the luck.Hope I helped! :)
