 We recently covered a video on how you can get yourself the special Pokeballs in Pokemon Scholar and Violet, the Apricon Balls, the Dream Ball, and the Beast Ball. These are extremely rare items and when you come to use them on wild Pokemon, whether it be a Shiny or a specifically special Pokemon, you wanna make sure that you are putting yourself in the best position to get this Pokemon. And I always feel like it would be great to have an idea of what the chances are of you getting this Pokemon in this specific catch. Well, today we're gonna cover a brilliant tool that has been released to the community. So you can see the specific catch rates for when you're using these special Pokeballs, so you don't waste them after taking so long in acquiring them in the first place. But before we get into today's video, please subscribe to the channel. Remember, you can always unsubscribe later if you would like to. So yesterday, Anubis dropped this tweet saying, I went through the Scholar and Violet capture formerly with at Denvoros. He made this calculator that you can use. And it's at Rotom Labs. You can read further for the details on what's changed since Sword and Shield. This doesn't apply to terror rates, which have a 100% catch rate if you didn't know that already. So you don't have any worries about going into a terror rate and getting the Pokemon for that. So this is the calculator itself. You can see there is a bit of an explanation here and how it works and a bit more information down the bottom here. But a brilliant tool for us to be able to just take into our games and use alongside them to get an idea of what catch rates you've got on Pokemon around the region. You can see here, you've got the full list of Pokemon here. So we're going after something like a Dino, which is a pseudo legendary. And you want to catch it in a dusk ball and it is nighttime area in a cave. So there is that option there, which is brilliant. And then you want to use the current HP. If we've got a false swipe user, you can put it down to one HP. And we'll say the level is around 38 here. Status condition, no status condition. So if you've got something that can paralyze it, put it to sleep, that increases the odds even more. You've got your badge count there, catching power. If you've got any of those powers from a sandwich activated, you can add those on, which will give you increased chances. Of course, encounter started with a back strike. If you do start the encounter with a back strike, that'll also change the odds as well. And number caught in Pokedex, so you can put one down there. So it's this static encounter as well, because it might be a static encounter that you come across if it's not just leave that unchecked. And you can see here, if we have all of this criteria for a Dino, and we've got that in game, we're going to have a 61% chance of getting the Dino with a Dust Bowl. And it's also going to give you rough estimate on how many throws you're going to have to need, how many poker balls you're going to have used to get this Dino in the specific call that you want. But if you're wanting to get it in something a bit more exotic, and you want to use one of those special apricon balls, or something, let's say, like a Beast Bowl, let's say the worst catch rates in the entire game, if we change this to a Beast Bowl, you'll be able to get a good idea of seeing what the odds are going to be. You're going to have a 4% chance to get this in a Beast Bowl, taking roughly about 61 attempts to get it in the Beast Bowl. That'll just give you a roughly 95% chance to get it after 61 throws. So you're going to want to save in front of it, obviously, because you're only going to get one Beast Bowl at all. If you're lucky, you'll have a couple of them, but you don't want to waste them, of course. So this tool is brilliant for just showing you the overall odds of how you can get it. Firstly, if you have catching power level three or anything like that, it doesn't really change the odds too much. So you can see, well, he's using a Herbomistica really that useful. Maybe using Encounterpower level two would help, but it doesn't change the odds really that much, maybe 1%. If you go with a back strike, you can see the odds are increased significantly, more than catching power, but if you combine that with catching power, you'll get better odds as well, and then you can also have a sleep condition like that on, and it will significantly increase your odds. So it just gives you an idea of the different things that you can do in-game to increase your chances, significantly going from 61 throws, roughly 215 throws on average to getting this Dino in a Beast Bowl. And that's just one example. You can do it with every single Pokemon that's accessible in the games, and like I say, what an amazing calculator to use, and we'll use it in the example now on a Shiny Tinkerturf that I've just recently caught in the games. So now we've got a Shiny Tinkerturf if we want to catch it in a special Pokeball. Obviously, we have saved that game, so if anything goes wrong, then we are going to be able to kind of go back and reset and try again, not to waste any of these special kind of apricon balls that we're wanting to catch this Shiny Tinkerturf in. But if you come over to Rotom Labs now, which will be linked down in the description below, you're going to be able to come down and then you're going to be able to put your Pokemon in here. So we have got a Tinkerturf, the select the ball that we're going to try and get it in. I think we're probably going to try and get it in a heavy ball. That seems like a nice ball to catch it in for sure. HP remaining, it will be on one HP, so it'll have exactly one HP after the false swipe. Pokemon's level, we'll need to check its level. So let's have a quick look at what level it is, level 38. So we'll be able to just plug this in on this vice here. Status condition, no status condition. We've got eight badges, catching power bonus. We don't have anything on and we didn't start with a back strike. So we'll put one down as caught in our Pokedex and it gives us the odds of the chances of us catching this. We've got about a 56% chance to catch it. So a success rate we're going to have to throw and reset about four times to get it. What the odds would be with a dream ball. The dream ball probably about the same odds. I would imagine maybe a little bit worse actually. So let's have a look, dream ball, yeah, a little bit worse, but I feel like it matches a lot nicer. This tool is an essential for going out and hunting with the special Pokeballs. Just making sure that you've got a rough idea of how easy it's going to be or not so easy to get a certain Pokemon. And we do it, there we go. We've got it in the dream ball. We didn't use a false swipe that time, but we got it in the dream ball straight away and that is a very lucky catch for us. And there's the shiny tinker tough. So that is everything in today's video, friends. A massive shout out to Denvoros for coming up with this tool and designing it for the community to use. I would definitely highly recommend taking it and adapting it when you are going out and catching shiny Pokemon specifically or other Pokemon as well if you want, just to give you an idea of what things you can do like I've said in this guide to reduce the catch rates to give yourself the better chance of getting these Pokemon in specific balls. So you're not resetting your game over and over and over again when sometimes you can just use a status condition or a back strike even to start the encounter and that's going to significantly increase your odds, especially if you are combining that with maybe the catching power as well from a sandwich that you've set up for that specific type. The link to this tool will be down in the description below. If you found this video useful, please drop a like on the video. Do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon, Scott and Violet content and I'll see you all in another video very soon. So thank you for tuning in, friends. Take care of yourselves and bye-bye.
