Talk:List of Pokémon by catch rate

The Japanese Blue page mentions that the catch rates were adjusted between Red/Green and Blue--which I'm assuming means the rates we have now are the Blue ones, since the base of our Red/Blue games was the Japanese Blue. Does anyone have any data on catch rates for the first 151 in the original Red/Green? If so, shouldn't the differences be noted here? Zdododododo 01:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

If Red and Green have unique catch rates from the rest of the series, I think that shouldn't clutter this article but instead be compiled into a separate article, with its link on this article. --Pie ^~♪♫ 02:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Should Missingno. be on this list? Being a glitch and all, it's catch rate dosn't really concern most people.

No, because it's not a Pokémon. It's a glitch. TTEchidna^G_SDS! 20:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

So, it can be removed? How do you find out the catch rate of a glitch anyway? -User:PokemonTrainer7738

Dunno. Who thinks arceus should have catch rate of 1? -File:Ani258MS.gifOrigamiGuy Lieks MudkipzFile:Ani258MS.gif 19:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Good question, I dunno. I imagine that it's in the data, since Missingno. is filler, but I do think it ought to be removed. This is a list of Pokémon by catch rate, not a list of Pokémon and programming oversights that mimic them by catch rate. TTEchidnaFire echy 19:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

If Arceus had a catch rate of 1 or 2, it'd be possible for Master Balls to fail on it, especially when its HP is full. Kyoukipichi 06:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Should Dialga have such a low catch rate, I caught mine with a Quick Ball. Deemack199725 04:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Uncatchable Pokemon

I'm curious what makes some Pokemon, such as the ghost Marowak from gen 1, unable to be caught. Do they have a catch rate of 0, or is there some other determining factor? Redstar 03:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

If they had a catch rate of 0, the ball would simply never shake. Instead, they dodge the ball completely, indicating that there is some other factor. Blueapple128 15:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

The Marowak ghost is treated as if it's a trainer's Pokémon. They probably use the same coding, seeing as you cannot catch it nor Pokémon belonging to other trainers. This logic makes sense to me, so I'll stick to it. KurosakisTwin 09:08, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Fully Evolved Catch Rate

Okay, in the Trivia Section it says Watchog is the only fully evolved Pokemon with a catch rate of 255. But, wouldn't you count Maractus and all those who are not able to evolve from or into a Pokemon, as fully evolved?TurtleLover1999 (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
