Capture percentages

[Niss3]

The capture percentages can't be accurate. I keep failing 90% with using 10+ balls.

then use a higher variety of sphere there is the Basic Palsphere, then there is the Mega One , followed by a Gigasphere so on and so forth.
you unlock them by building up your base and leveling up your Palbox

ALso look around for the green Effigies, you use those to get a boost to capture power at the statue of power.

It's known as being "X-commed." the good ole fail 95% rate.

Percentages are funny like that, you could have a 99% success rate on something and fail 5 times in a row before getting it, percentage is simply chance.

I kind of remember a tiny pop-up (after throwing) saying that a specific Pal couldn't be caught with the base Palsphere. I didn't have a 90%, but it was something like 50-60%. I think it was the Dinoblossom-thing that shows up near the intro area. Dunno if it was because of size or level. I'm assuming level but for some reason I thought I read something about size....

Otherwise, I find that in the higher levels that the percentages are so different between the spheres (1% vs 26% or something like that) that it's pretty obvious when one is useless.

The rates are absolutely bogus. There is some kind of hidden modifier and it seems to be tied to specific pals. Higher rarity pals seem to fail much more even on 80% or higher catch rates. I failed the rare version of the deer with a giga sphere and 79% catch rate a whooping 12 times in a row. The next one I tried I failed another 10 times in a row. By those odds I should have won the lottery considering I RNG rolled a 21 or lower so many times in a row. More proof is on a different pal, same spheres, lower chance (like 65%) I catch it consistently every 1-3 throws over and over again.

Its like how loot boxes work, sure you see the knife at the very beginning and it makes you think you have a shot at it, but then it bends you over and sticks a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ rifle skin right up your ass.

The displayed percentage doesnt seem to factor in the effigy bonus or the tier of the sphere used from what im noticing. If your failing that much up sphere tier.

im fairly certain there is a mechanic attached to pals based on their rarity and level to grants negatives to spheres below a set tier.

I'm noticing that the effigy bonus only applies after you hit the creature with the ball, not the amount shown before you through it. It also seems to be percentage based because if your odds were already low to begin with, they won't go that much higher. It only seems to help with catches that you were sorta close to getting a decent rate but not quite.

no?

thats why it failed then.

dont even play xcom series or your blood pressure is gonna blow past 1200/900
