List of Pokémon by catch rate

Catch Rate is an important defining characteristic of many evolutionary lines. Most Pokémon get harder to catch the further along in their evolutionary line they are. Below is a list of Pokémon and their catch rates in basic numbers and percentages, sortable by column.

Each species of Pokémon has a catch rate that applies to all its members. Higher catch rates mean that the Pokémon is easier to catch, up to a maximum of 255. When a Poké Ball is thrown at a wild Pokémon, the game uses that Pokémon's catch rate in a formula to determine the chances of catching that Pokémon. The formula also takes into account the following factors:

• The health of the Pokémon (relative to its full health)
• The type of Poké Ball
• Any status condition of the wild Pokémon (e.g. Paralysis, Poison, etc)

The rarity of the Pokémon (i.e. how often it appears in the wild) is independent of its catch rate after it is encountered. The Master Ball and other Poké Balls that guarantee capture bypass the catching formula entirely.
