How the formula works
The calculator uses the exact capture formula the game itself runs in Palworld 1.0, so the odds it shows are faithful to what you'll see in-game.
The formula first computes a level differential: sphere_power + statue_ranks + partner_passive − target_level. This is mapped to a 0–1 value called normalizedLevel using a ±50-level window — if your sphere power plus bonuses is 50+ levels above the Pal, you get the maximum bonus; 50+ levels below and the chance collapses to zero regardless of other factors.
HP feeds a 1.3−HP% exponent — at full HP this is 1/1.3 ≈ 0.77, and as HP approaches zero it rises toward 1.0. Combined with normalizedLevel, this gives the core probability valueA. The game then applies two complementary polynomial branches depending on whether valueA is above or below 0.5, keeping precision across both high- and low-catch scenarios.
Back-strikes grant an additional bonus, but the game applies it outside the core capture formula, in the throw-sequence logic. It's a separate multiplier that isn't part of the calculation above, so the rest of the formula is complete and faithful to the game.
The species multiplier (each Pal's capture rate field in the Paldeck), status multipliers, and world difficulty are applied as final factors and clamped to [0, 1].
