The Catch Rate Calculator is an essential tool for Pokémon BDSP players. It calculates the probability of catching a Pokémon based on various game factors. This tool helps players make informed decisions about which Poké Balls to use and whether to apply status effects to Pokémon.
Formula of Catch Rate Calculator BDSP
The formula used by the Catch Rate Calculator is:
Catch Rate = ((3 * Max HP – 2 * Current HP) * (Catch Rate of the Pokémon) * (Ball Modifier) / (3 * Max HP)) * Status Modifier
Variables
Max HP
The maximum health points of the Pokémon you are attempting to catch. This value remains constant for each Pokémon species at a given level.
Current HP
The current health points of the Pokémon. Lower HP increases the catch rate, making it easier to catch the Pokémon.
Catch Rate of the Pokémon
Each Pokémon species has a predefined catch rate, which affects how difficult they are to capture.
Ball Modifier
This variable depends on the type of Poké Ball used. For example, an Ultra Ball provides a higher catch rate than a standard Poké Ball.
Status Modifier
Applying status conditions such as Sleep or Paralysis can significantly increase the catch rate. This modifier reflects the effect of these conditions.

Example of Catch Rate Calculator BDSP
Scenario: You’re trying to catch a wild Gible with half its maximum HP left, using an Ultra Ball, and the Gible is paralyzed.
Inputs:
- Max HP: 100
- Current HP: 50
- Catch Rate of Gible: 45
- Ball Modifier for Ultra Ball: 2
- Status Modifier for Paralysis: 1.5
Catch Rate Calculation: Catch Rate = ( (3 * 100 – 2 * 50) / (3 * 100) ) * 45 * 2 * 1.5 = ( (300 – 100) / 300 ) * 45 * 2 * 1.5 = (200 / 300) * 45 * 2 * 1.5 = 0.67 * 45 * 2 * 1.5 = 90.45
Result: The probability of catching Gible under these conditions is approximately 90.45%.
