Maxed Effigies, 2nd best spheres, stun baton, still feels like playing the lotto

[Illiaz]

Player level 44, using hyper spheres, stun baton, and back bonus as much as possible, and still taking a unreasonable amount of spheres to capture pals above level 30. Capture rate says 70%+ for most non bosses with 20% or less hp and stunned, and still they break out on average 4 to 5 times. World bosses are even more of a pain, never getting above 10-20% chance and taking dozens of spheres. It genuinely feels like leveling up the effigies did the opposite for my catch rate. Up to this point catching things around my level wasnt a chore.

Indeed. It's a pain in the bun to get one pal above level 30 -- catch rates need to be tweaked asap,

[IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

I doubled my catch rates in the world settings and even then the ones above 40 are a pain in the ass. Even with legendary spheres, your best bet is around a 10-20% catch rate.
Fortunately since the catch rates are so buggy, it seems that you're more likely to catch a 10% Pal in 5 spheres than catch a 90% in less than 5.

Try Ultra and Legendary Spheres once you have unlocked them. They're a pain to make though.

Ye, just tried legendary spheres. level 45 now, tried catching a level 42 blazamutt on the wildlife sanctuary island, had it 1hit, 47% chance from behind, 11 legendary spheres and it got 1 wiggle out of all of those. think im done with the game until they fix catching rates that was completely unfun and a waste of time

[Dracoco OwO]

Something is definitely wrong with catch rates even with legendary spheres and maxed out effigies levels and double catch rates, the 2 ticks to catch someting are far lower rates than what they seems it appears.

I felt this for a couple of days now, bunch of pals indicating over 70%+ but 10 balls later and not even a wiggle.. and then I throw a low chance ball that indicates like 8% and catches...

[Stellar Remnant]

Capture rate is the progress percent the ball starts at.

This is NOT capture chance. The actual chance is hidden.

[wyy]

I've felt this too, ended up killing a few out of exasperation after they waste 10+ ultra spheres on a 70% chance, I know rng is rng but still... can't shake off the feeling its against us right?

If thats true that sucks then. Getting all effigies, taking the time to get the resources and pals to make legendaries, using the trash stun baton to improve rates, and still just wasting time doing everything that they tell you to get better rates. And it all is just the same as pressing a+b+down or swirling the d-pad like kids at school used to try to improve pokemon catch rates.

Yeah i noticed this as well.

lvl 8 on the catch thing. trying to catch a lvl 2 penguin. i beat him down to one hit. I had to throw 5, lvl 2 balls to catch it.

seems off.

[Arcebal]

Just use cheats, lmoa, why are you doing this to yourself?

Catchrate doesnt even matter, totally RNG. Caught Legendary Froststallion with 4 percent with 2 Legendary spheres.
