- 04 Jul 2017 11:46 #199657 I'm a long time fan of Pokemon, and have recently started playing Pixelmon too. I love the game, but one thing that i can't get past is how skewed the catch rates feel. In most pokemon games, a semi-rare pokemon (catch right around 45 or lower) would have over a 50% chance of being caught by an ultra ball if it was false swiped to 1 hp and asleep. In pixelmon, in the same situation, I'm using 20+ ultra balls to catch things like Skarmory, Chansey, or Snorlax. I'm not sure if this is intended, a bug, or do i somehow have the worst RNG in the history of the game?
