Err.. did they fix/change/break being able to use more than one Great Ball now? I CLEARLY had enough Coins to use another one when I was trying to catch a Pokémon, but then the game went "lolnope" and let it run away...

    Yeah, it's random whether you get to throw another ball or not unfortunately. In my experience, it seems to allow them to flee more often when you miss with a higher percent capture than a lower one. Probably just RNG/Luck in the end.

    I must've been super lucky, then. This was literally the first time I've ever seen this happen ever since they first implemented... well... being able to use more than one Great Ball.

    The thing that matters here is: What Pokémon was? Was it hard to beat? Whatever the case is, I hope you get another chance.

    What?! It's random? I thought 3 consecutive Great Balls were the max so as not to deplete coins. Good to know, I guess.

    (Running low on posts, so I'll make this quick.) @Ryu Suzaku: I had near max Coins when I was playing the new Main Stages, so I had the mindset of just catching everything regardless of how much I was gonna spend. Then this happened. @AURA NOIR: I didn't even know 3 was the limit. I really must've lucked out, then o.o

    @Nao★Mi: The maximum is not 3, I have used more than that if I recall correctly. I don't even know if there is a max.

    No response needed, but now that I've acquired info from everyone here, I'll take EVERY advantage of any Great Ball that is presented. Plus that screenshot of Nao★Mi's is unsettling!

    Also, I'd hope there would be a cap on the use of Great Balls. 10,000 coins on a single capture? I'd opt for another battle. But that's just me.

    @Ryu Suzaku: Oh, okay. Good to know. @AURA NOIR: That image is just my default "Use this to post anything!" pic. I grabbed it during a screen transition and thought "This is actually decent." Anyway, while I could agree with you on your other reply, don't forget about the one-chance-per-day events... @jacob: Gotta love RNG, huh? (And with that, I take my leave for now.)

    Yeah there is a random flee chance after any great ball, it can flee on the first or stick around till you catch it on your twenty-third. Annoying when you spend coins to beat a stage and even killing in one turn doesn't get you to 50% catch rate.

    The math on that is 57,000. Roughly. Ouch! And I'm done here. I'll see if I can add to your Q & A some more. Still keeping it open?

    It'll stay open till at most Tuesday on midnight. If something else comes up before then, I'll close it sooner, but I'll make a comment as to why beforehand.

    Okay, then, 100000/2500=40... So 39 would burn a max amount of coins WAY TOO MUCH.

    Yeah it was just an example, at some point it's just better to forget the great balls and re-do the stage even if it does cost you items.

    The running-away thing usually only happens when I miss multiple times in a row, but it usually doesn't happen until after the 3rd or 4th miss. I think only 1 time did I miss once & then it ran away, but it was on a very rare/special Pokémon (might've even been Arçeus), so I just assumed that was a special circumstance. I didn't think it was always random & could, @ any time, happen after 1 miss.
