Yeah does curveball actually increase capture rate? It's too troublesome to do all the time :p

easier and faster to just go for a great than a curveball, imo

I thought catch rate is based on level instead of cp. Unevolved ones have deceptively low cp compared to their level. CP 250 pidgey could be somewhere between level 15-20.

Yeah it's based on species + lvl. That's why low CP but high level unevolved pidgeys and stuff are kinda hard to catch, and why when you are approaching lvl 20 you start having troubles catching these "shit" pokemons.

the developer suggested it did.

i dont really see the problem with pokemon fleeing. i only use regular pokeballs on shit-tier pokemon, and i have caught 586/718 pidgeys, give or take since i dont catch everything i see. that is 79%, and the flee rate is 20%. i am level 28 and regularly see 300/400 cp pidgeys, and still throw regular balls. i imagine my catch rate would improve if i used great/ultra balls on the higher cp pidgeys, but just dont care enough.

1115 pidgey seen, 927 caught, 83%
I also don't bother to use great balls or it'd be higher.

pokedex shows number seen/caught for each pokemon.

Yeah I'm at 83% Pidgey catch rate. It's even better for pokemon I care about and use resources on, like Poliwag (96/101 for 95%) or Squirtle (41/43 for 95%).

I always throw curveballs unless the pokemon is far back though. It's not hard when you get used to it, at least it's not since they fixed the physics on it.

Though none of that tracks the # of balls spent per pokemon which would be a better indication of catch success if pokeballs are a limiting factor.

Thats a crazy rate for Squirtle. I'm at like 50-75% on the three starters. I live pretty much on top of a Bulbasaur nest and those smug little shits break out and flee like half the time.

36/42 bulbs -- 86%
30/35 char -- 86%
72/81 squirts - 89%
36/44 pikas - 82%

i almost always use an ultra ball and raspberry on starters though. even low level ones. pikas are especially angry.

the flee rate for all four is 10%.

Most of my pokemon with over 30 seen are at 85%ish

Then there's Abra.... 18 caught 47 seen 38%. Berry + biggest ball every single time

That's the idea.
The problem is not much that they flee, but that I can sometime spend 6-10 balls on a low CP common pokémon to catch it.

I went down town yesterday evening and my bag is full now. I'll see how long it last.

That's hard to believe. You must be extremely unlucky lol. Abra's have a fairly high catch rate, probably to compensate for the fact that they instantly flee.

I'm 14/15 myself, always Razz + ultra ball

Been a busy couple days for me. Went to Red Bank Battlefield Park(Southern NJ, across the river from the Philly Naval Yard) and caught a whole lot of pretty much everything, outside of some 10k things. Highlights were a 2186CP Snorlax tuesday and 3 different Dragonair spawns yesterday, including an Aranine and Machamp I didn't get. The place somehow has all biomes in it and 4-5 areas where you can sit under 3-4 pokestops and just chill.

Check for Go subreddits in your area. I found mine through /r/pokemongophilly.

Yeah I know Sounds awesome though. Couldn't find a Lapras this morning which was really sad. Was late to work (not a big deal) as I drove all around the nearby streets trying to pin it down in time.

Also 14/15 on Abras now. Only need about 5 more for my Alakazam!
