Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Drifblim, 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.

Drifblim Pokédex entries

Versions	Pokédex entry
Diamond	It’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Pearl	It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Platinum, Black, White	At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.
HeartGold, SoulSilver	It can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.
Black 2, White 2	They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.
X, Omega Ruby	It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Y, Alpha Sapphire	It’s drowsy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Sun	There was once an incident in which a man took a trip riding a Drifblim, only to go missing.
Moon	Even while under careful observation, large flocks of Drifblim flying at dusk will inexplicably disappear from view.
Ultra Sun	There’s a rumor that if you catch a Drifblim floating on the wind at dusk, you’ll be carried away to the afterlife.
Ultra Moon	The raw material for the gas inside its body is souls. When its body starts to deflate, it’s thought to carry away people and Pokémon.
Sword	Some say this Pokémon is a collection of souls burdened with regrets, silently drifting through the dusk.
Shield	It grabs people and Pokémon and carries them off somewhere. Where do they go? Nobody knows.
