Are Better Pokémon Harder to Catch?

In the world of Pokémon, some trainers make it their goal to capture as many creatures as they can, while others seek to catch ’em all. But did you ever wonder if it’s really more challenging to catch rarer or higher-level Pokémon? The answer is complex, and this article aims to provide insights into what makes it more difficult, or easier, to snag those elusive Poké Ball rewards.

Initial Catch-Rate Analysis

According to an article by Vintage Isn’t New Again, stronger Pokémon are inherently harder to catch due to their inherently lower catch rate. Higher-level Pokémon with lower levels and lower IVs may face enhanced struggles as these affect overall HP percentages Source. IV, or Inheritance Value, plays an essential role, as does HP percentages affecting the base catch rate**.

Catch-Rate Scale:

Here is a condensed table featuring a rough overview of Pokémon types sorted by their native catch probability. Please be aware it is simplified since factors will differ for higher-level enemies. This analysis focuses level 2-70 Pokémon.

A More Complex Issue: Experience Level

Consider the perspective from GameFaq about Master Balls:
"Actually, in Let’s Go, Pikachu!, and also Let’s Go, Eevee, a super one can be found… and a common one [is] always available and Master Ball Master Ball doesn’t miss always, almost always" [[Source1](https://www.gamerant.com/pokmon-lettsgopikachu-review/]]. However, they do imply experience affects catch accuracy, especially once the gap in levels broadens*. A significant skill gap reduces chances for precise captures even with a solid Poke ball selection.

As a crucial side note from Screen Rant: Pokémon with too-low or too-low HPs become increasingly susceptible to defeat or not being properly captured.,

Other key factors should be borne in mind such as status conditions impacting the individual catch rate.

Is the Master Ball the Right Tool for You?

Masterball, even as an infallible 255 Capture Rate at base, no longer does 100%, only "almost" it; in specific situations*, which could apply to particular rare or ‘hardto catch’ Pokemons**.

Additionally, factors to consider beyond just one tool (for example "other Poké Balls), Pokémon stats), the way individual captures can unfold, especially by skill gap of trainers: catch rates tend to adapt depending on an individual and trainer performance while engaging with, or versus other Pokémon).

Keep it in the Family to Boost Your Skill

With all the excitement of rearing a single Pokémon of interest, how do individuals make progress effectively? Remember the power-sharing concept we explored above—catchers have their skill levels while others are harder to seize as trainers learn. Consider capturing all *Pokmons to achieve complete understanding mastery in Pokémon. In hindsight, we conclude that:

• Higher, rarer Pokémon may take more capturing, especially within a relatively smaller pool at lower IVs, and by other means with varying Pokémon catch rates affecting success odds (or any given "super rare"
• We will find less challenging yet "lower" the experience/level to master capture ability.
