Yet another math thread! This time, I review the SWSH capture formula.

While the math is based on formulas that have been around forever, I'll point out the new changes in Gen 8 and reveal the Max Raid catch rates.

(Now you'll know why GMax Pokémon were so hard to catch...) I'll explain each step following this algorithm.

Order of operations and rounding calculations are necessary to replicate for a completely accurate catch calculator. I include technical resources at the end for those interested in this task.

Today, I'll go over the LGPE capture formula!

This is going to be math-heavy, but I'll point out some implications that may help players. I'll be following these 3 steps in this thread.

All the formulas shown use floating-point arithmetic.

Order of operations (even for multiplication) is important to replicate for an accurate calculator. Image
