I don't have an idea on critical capture but I noticed it never popping off when I was hunting HA Heavy Ball Beldum (with full Pokédex). I assume the chance is roughly similar to the catchrate in itself.

Sleeping turns modifier to 2x. Which upgrades Heavy Ball's catchrate to a whopping -14 instead of -15.5. So yeah, might as well Paralyze to half the turns it can do anything and stop it from calling partners.

Well depending on what buff crit capture is, that 1.5 could be significant...or it could be a Modifier that makes it irrelevant

Well I just looked it up, the CC chance is ROUND.DOWN[(CatchValue * 2.5)/6] (if best modifier is available, as you need 600+ for this but I dunno if this has been adjusted for Alola's limited dex).

Because of the rounding and even in the best case scenario (ie: CatchValue is set to 1) it would still round down to 0. Hence, no critical captures can occur.

Interesting. Just for clarity, I wasn't disagreeing with you just curious. Thanks!
