catch rates?

[Mattman]

anyone else after leveling your catch rates up using lucario i meant anubis statue see worsened catch rates?

a hyper sphere (best one i can use) had a 2% catch rate on a 1 hp and that was after the first tick.

i believe there's a game breaking bug that's probably rare that worsens your catch rate. i can't catch anything 15+ without higher level spheres and even the best sphere (i've found/ can get) can barely catch things. it becomes a dodge and survive battle trying to catch pals 20+ and it's extremely hard.

my friend threw a mega sphere at a mammorest with +3 effigy catch rate and first tick was 24% i have +7 catch rate effigy and used a hyper sphere and got a 2% tick.

What were your character levels? It has a huge impact on catch rates.
And it is actually intentional that you can't catch higher level stuff with lower level spheres.

Certain things need better still I hit point where my Hypers are just not cutting it and I got start mining crystals to make the next spehere production line. If you catch thigns with a 2% catch rate on a hyper means you after way too high of level things to not have unlocked the stuff to make more. I mean I was catching level 35s with hypers and at that point you can make hte next up, and it was 20% catch rate for phase one, with only 4 upgrades to my catch rate.

But you need to get better or like Dustie said your too low level to be catching that even if some one is helping you, or you found a way to take on somehting that high level. I mean in the 30s you gonna still get like 20% ish catch rate on stuff with low health with hypers. So again if its 2% you got be trying to get over 35, and you unlock the Ultras at 35 so you not using the best you can use, just the best you can make with out getting the new mats you unlocked

The catch rates drop harshly as their level goes up but I think something is weird about them indeed. 24% on mammorest with mega seems absurd though. That's way too high.

Character level plays a large part in it, as do the pals level, health, and if they have status effects.

[awanderingswordsman]

I don't think character level actually plays any role, unless higher character level = worse catch rate for some absurd reason.

It does, around level 35 with no effigy upgrades (collecting them all before I upgrade) my regular blue pal spheres have 80 to 100% catch rate on full health levels 1 to 5s. Which is way more than they have when you start the game

[awanderingswordsman]

I'm level 47 with all 10 effigies and I don't even get 50% on a back attack sleeping level 2 cattiva so clearly something is going on.

Poke it I guess. I just poke them with a spear or use a wood club like tiny hit and its now 80-100 rate. I litterally just ran around at night smaked them once and hit them with a ball for all the low levels I didn't have 10 of yet one day to get a ton of exp lol.

[awanderingswordsman]

I did that at level 5. I've been periodically checking my catch rates as I get more effigies and leveling has had zero impact on the shown numbers. I think you forgot just how easy it is to catch the first few pals. Catch something 40+ with a 100% catch rate, even with a legendary sphere and I'll know something is up.

[liberator65853]

No pal 40+ will every have 100% catch rate no matter the health or status or sphere used. I caught all 4 legendary my last play through and with 23 health left out of like 13000 and stunned and the legendary sphere had a 2.38% catch rate. I will also say I don't think the % chance you see is the actual catch rate as I've had more 80% chance catches break out than 20% catches

THere are several things that improve your catch rates:

- Effigys offered to statue
- Your level
- Pal level
- Status effects on the Pal (burn, pioson, electrocute...thats why the baton is really good or flame xbow)
- Whether you throw the sphere to the front or back of the pal
- Traps
- Sphere rarity

this discussion wasn't made for individuals such as yourselves to investigate as if i don't know wtf i'm talking about nor doing in the game. the discussion was simply made for the devs. or people whom noticed reduced catch rates after upgrading their effigy status.

there was not meant to be some debate nor (info) discussion as if i have 0 clue nor idea what i'm talking about.

what i'm talking about is a rare bug that decreased the catch rate of pals as you leveled up your effigy status. if you do not have the bug nor encountered it. then you have 0 clue nor idea what i'm talking about.

the teaching me how to play this game was cute. imagine talking about a rare bug and people add skill issue into the topic. you're talking to a gaming veteran. not a pleb.

[Mattman]

and no i'm not salty. i straight got tilted from that ♥♥♥♥.

Frostallion with maxed Lifmunk Blessing capture bonus was 15 wooping percent. It took me over 20 legendary pal balls to catch it when it had only 2 percent HP left.

[meter'.]

I can confirm the bug as well.

Frostallion at full health (while sleeping) had a back attack catch rate of 1.81% on level 37 with lifmunk effigy on level 4 with an ultra sphere.
After upgrading the lifmunk effigy to level 9 the chance decreased to 1%.

For lower leveled pals it increased the catch rate though, the catch rate only decreased for high leveled pals.
