What are the chances of getting a Critical Capture?

Also what improves this chance?

The probability of a critical capture depends of the number of Pokémon that has previously been caught in the Pokédex.

Varying probability, improve it by catching more Pokemon.Similar Question

The variables as to a Critical Capture’s success includes:

The formula is:>Critical Capture = floor((255,CatchValue) * Multiplier)

Firstly, ‘CatchValue’ is simply the normal Catch Value formula, which you can look at in the Generation V section ofthis page.

Now, if this number is below 255, (hence catchable) then this number is multiplied by a certain value, depending on the amount of species in your Pokedex.

So let’s say that the ‘CatchValue’ is 48, and I have 373 Pokemon in my Pokedex.CatchValue is below 255, so I can continue with the formula. So the formula would be:

48 x 1.5 = 72

Then, a random number (just a random number, not gonna go into unneeded specifics) will be generated, and if the resulting number (in this case, 72) is below that number, acritical capture will occur!:D

Really, the only way to improve the odds is you have to have less Pokemon in your Pokedex. Especially below 30 - since the resulting number will always be 0, and therefore the number will always be below the generated number. Yay. :D
