A specialized application exists that determines the probability of successfully capturing a Pokmon in the second generation of the video game series. This tool takes into account various factors, including the specific Pokmon’s inherent resistance to capture, the type of Pok Ball used, and the target’s remaining health points expressed as a percentage of its maximum health. For example, inputting a Pokmon’s species, current health, and the selected Pok Ball type allows for the calculation of the capture likelihood.
Understanding the mechanics of Pokmon capture within the second generation enables players to optimize their strategies and conserve valuable resources. Historically, accurately predicting capture rates required complex manual calculations. The availability of this tool simplifies the process, allowing players to make informed decisions about when to use more powerful Pok Balls or status-inducing moves to improve their chances of success. This leads to greater efficiency in acquiring desired Pokmon and completing the game’s objectives.
