Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Porygon-Z, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

Y, Alpha Sapphire	Its programming was modified to enable it to travel through alien dimensions. Seems there might have been an error...
Sun	In order to create a more advanced Pokémon, an additional program was installed, but apparently it contained a defect that makes it move oddly.
Moon	Its program was modified to facilitate extra-dimensional activities, but that led to noticeably strange behavior.
Ultra Sun	Its behavior is noticeably unstable, which is apparently due to the incompetence of the engineer who updated its programming.
Ultra Moon	A faulty update was added to its programming. Its behavior is noticeably strange, so the experiment may have been a failure.
Sword	Porygon-Z had a program installed to allow it to move between dimensions, but the program also caused instability in Porygon-Z’s behavior.
Shield	Some say an additional program made this Pokémon evolve, but even academics can’t agree on whether Porygon-Z is really an evolution.
Legends: Arceus	A curious item induced this evolution. The Pokémon's offensive capabilities have greatly increased, but the strangeness of its behavior has magnified in equal measure. This worries me.
