Pokemon-go – What are the exact percentage numbers for the different “catch colors” in Pokémon GO

pokemon-go

When you encounter a Pokémon, there's a coloured circle around it that goes from wide to narrow and so on.

I know that when the circle is green it is "easy" to catch that Pokémon, yellow is "less easy", orange is "kinda difficult" and red is "hard as hell", but does anybody know the exact percentage numbers for these colors? For example: green is over 80% chance of catching, yellow is between 60-80… something like this.

Do we have these kind of data?

According to this source, it says that:

  • Green = 100%
  • Yellow = 65%
  • Orange = 35%
  • Red = 25%

Of course, almost no ring is strictly one color, but rather a blend between two of them. For instance, if every greenish target ring was labeled as solely green, you'd catch every single Pokemon with that color ring, but this is not the case. This simply means that the closer the ring is to pure green, then the closer the base capture rate is to 100%, and the same can be about the other colors.

In addition, these values can move around based on a few other factors, like your throw accuracy, the use of Razz Berries, what kind of ball you are using, etc. You can think of these as just baseline figures.
