new capture

A Pokémon’s Capture Rate depends on its Level, Hit Points, Status Afflictions, Evolutionary Stage, and Rarity.

Normally, a Pokémon’s Capture Rate starts at 0, but in the event you want the Pokémon to be more difficult to catch, like if it were a Boss, Shiny, or a Legendary Pokémon, then lower this number by a value between 25 and 100 based on what you feel is appropriate for its rarity.  Remember that Pokémon that have been Knocked Out cannot be captured; Poké Balls will simply fail to attempt to energize them.

Next, follow the following checklist and adjust as needed.
* Is the Pokémon under level 25?  If so add 20 to its Capture Rating.
* Is the Pokémon's HP at or under 50% its max HP?  If so add 10 to its Capture Rating.
* Is the Pokémon's HP at or under 25% its max HP?  If so add another 10 to its Capture Rating.
* Is the Pokémon suffering from 5 or more Injuries?  If so, add 20 to its Capture Rating.
* Is the Pokémon suffering from a Persistent or Volatile Status Condition?  If so, add 10 to its Capture Rating (These do not stack for each condition!)
* Does the Pokémon have two evolution stages remaining?  If so, add 20 to its Capture Rating.
* Does the Pokémon have one evolution stage remaining?  If so, add 10 to its Capture Rating.

Got all that? Let’s see a few examples so you can be sure.

A level 10 Pikachu that is at 50% Hit Points and Confused would have a Capture Rate of 60.
Math: Under Level 25 (+20), At 50% HP (+10), Confused (+10), Two Evolution Stages Remaining (+20)
