5th Gen Critical Capture

[Christopher]

Just happened to me with a Pawniard on route 11. Battled it all the way into the red and then Crit Catch it. Happy and Sad :)

 

[Beond]

Has anyone had this happen to them yet? For those that may not know, critical capture is a once in a while thing where when trying to capture, the pokeball acts like a master ball and catches the pokemon without fail. I haven't personally had this happen to me, sadly. I wanted to see it in action.

actually it can fail to capture

 

[shinyabsol1]

Yes, I have had it happen twice to me. The first time it confused me because I had no clue what happened 0_o


And yes, the critical capture can fail. It's just a very, very low chance from what I understand...

 

[BenjiTheKid]

It's only happened to me once so far. It was pretty neat. Unfortunately, it was wasted on a Golduck... lol

I got many of these, and it is one of my favorite new features. Pokemon is generally an easy game (besides competitive battling) but catching legendaries is extremely difficult and I think the game gives you a critical capture if you are almost out of Pokeballs when catching a legendary.

I have still not had ONE Critical Capture, and I've played through Black once and White once. looking forward to it, though.

 

[Oryx]

I asked my friend if he got any of these the other day, and he claimed that they always existed, and there was a 1/255 chance. It had to do with the capture rate and you getting a 0 or something according to him.

I have decided to catch every possible Pokemon in every area before allowing myself to move to the next, yet I still have not gotten that magical metal click.
If they are as common as critical hits, why haven't I gotten one by now T_T​

i actually caught a lotad this way! :) made me happy too because it was a lotad that I really wanted ^_^

 

[Ho-Oh]

I got one earlier apparently on Shelmet. When I saw it only took one roll to be caught, it just didn't seem right. For some reason I prefer when the ball rolls the four times, lol :( It didn't seem to be different to normal rolls imo, which is what I expected anyway (to be different that is). D;

 

[Regeneration]

Whoa! I didn't even know about something like this. I've not experienced this till now, but I hope to soon enough. Sounds pretty good to me.

 

[olih]

I didn't even know about this until now! But yeah, I think I did get a critical capture once. I remember being freaked out when the ball rolled only once.

 

[Scraggy]

This just recently happened to me with a Braviary. It wiggles like twice in mid-air then wiggles onlt once after bouncing..pretty cool

 

[Blue Nocturne]

I had no idea that it was a critical capture! I just saw the ball shake once and assumed they didn't bother with the others because the Sandile was so very clearly caught!

 

[WildEagle]

I got one on Drillbur back in the wellspring cave [:

 

[DeathOfBlades]

I was spamming ultra balls until I heard this weird noise and the ball made 1 shake and went in and I thought the noise came from my nose whistling but it was the ball. No joke I was about to ask the same thing.

 

[Weavile05]

I got one just today. I think I was catching a Klink? It was in Chargestone cave.

 

[cookie_lovr]

Capturing Reshiram in 1 hit dusk ball, ofc lol~ o:

 

[Westie7]

I don't think that's how it works. It shakes once before capture instead of three times, but the Pokemon can still break out.

Anyways, no, I haven't had one yet, but I've only caught about 10 Pokemon, so it makes sense.

 

[Raichupacabra]

I got one on Patrat and one on Stoutland.
