What is the chance of a Pokémon fleeing in the Safari Zone?
Dec. 7, 2014I would also like to know exactly how throwing mud at the Pokémon affects the flee rate, and how throwing bait does.
Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.
Each Pokémon in the Safari Zone has a set catch rate and an escape rate.Throwing Bait lowers the escape chance by 1 stage, but it also has a 90% chance of lowering the catch rate by 1 stage.Throwing Mud, however, has the opposite effect; it makes the catch rate higher by 1 stage and the escape chance higher by 1 stage.These stages are similar to Pokémon stat boosts. 0 is the starting stage and it can be raised to 6 stages or -6 stages.According to Bulbapedia:
At the end of each turn, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. If it is less than the modified stat stage, the Pokémon escapes.
This determines whether it escapes or not.I hope this helped!
