Aniimo Catch Chance Explained

The official Aniimo Probability Details page describes catching as a formula built from a base chance and several situation-dependent multipliers. This guide turns those published inputs into a preparation checklist without promising a universal result.

Official calculation

How Aniimo catch chance is calculated

The formula changes with the capture situation. First, the game checks whether the target can be caught at all; if not, the chance is set to 0%.

Situation	Published formula	What changes
Outside combat	Base Chance × Aniipod × Level × Back Attack × Special Status	Back attack applies only under the conditions listed by the official source.
In combat	Base Chance × Aniipod × Level × HP × Special Status	HP is used instead of the outside-combat back-attack factor.
Target defeated	Defeated Base Chance × Aniipod × Special Status	This is a separate published case, not a general rule for every target.

Base Chance is not just a level estimate: the official page defines it as a configured chance group multiplied by 1 + Character Base Catch Bonus. The applicable area/template row is configured data, not something this guide can infer from the target's level.

Player-readable factors

The main Aniimo catching multipliers

These are the factors most useful for understanding why two capture attempts can have different published chances. They are not a recommendation to spend a specific item or follow an untested route.

Aniipod multiplier

The official table lists Aniipod ×1, Aniipod Pro ×1.5, Aniipod Hyper, Trace and Mega ×2, while Aniipod Ultra and Sparkling Cube are listed as guaranteed success. Tumbler is ×2, or ×6 on Wild Surge targets.

Level multiplier

A target no more than 10 levels above the character is ×1. At 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15+ levels higher, the listed multipliers are ×0.8, ×0.6, ×0.4, ×0.2 and ×0.1. A higher character level adds no extra catch bonus.

HP or back attack

In combat, the official table lists an HP multiplier from ×0.8 at 100% HP up to ×2 at 0% HP. Outside combat, a valid server-confirmed back attack is ×1.5 for a standard Aniipod; other cases are ×1.

Important exceptions

Status effects, forced outcomes and the final check

Status is not a simple “add every bonus together” step. The official details specify how competing status multipliers are selected and when the formula can be overridden.

Special status selection

If any active status multiplier is below 1, the lowest multiplier is used. If all active multipliers are at least 1, the highest bonus is used. For example, Sleep ×2 together with Alerted ×0.9 resolves to ×0.9.

Capture-prohibited states

Some states, including an existing owner and other capture-prohibited conditions, set the chance directly to 0. A target that cannot be caught should not be treated as a low-percentage target.

Forced story outcomes

For certain story-related Aniimo, the result can be forced to succeed or fail. The official page also lists forced back-attack and outside-combat outcomes.

Standard Aniipod result: the official page describes two separate checks using the square root of the final chance. Both must succeed, while the combined success rate remains equal to the final chance. Other capture methods use a single random check; 100% or higher is guaranteed.

Before you spend an Aniipod

A safe catch-preparation checklist

Use the published formula as a decision aid, then confirm the current official page when a patch or system change may affect your target.

1. Check eligibility

Confirm that the target and its current state are catchable. Do not assume every story target, defeated state or special encounter follows the same path.

2. Identify the situation

Decide whether the attempt is outside combat, in combat or a published defeated-target case. That determines which factors belong in the formula.

3. Treat the result as version-sensitive

Area tiers, template configuration, status behavior and forced outcomes can change. Record the official checked date before relying on older notes.

Player questions

Aniimo catch chance FAQ

Short answers for players who need to understand the formula before looking for a calculator or build recommendation.

What determines catch chance in Aniimo?

The official formula uses a base chance plus modifiers such as the Aniipod, level difference, HP or back attack, and special status, depending on the capture situation.

Does the official formula guarantee every Aniimo catch?

No. Some targets can be capture-prohibited, and story-related forced outcomes can override the formula. A final chance of 100% or higher is listed as guaranteed.

Does a back attack improve every Aniimo catch?

The official details list a back-attack multiplier outside combat for a standard Aniipod when the server confirms the attack came from behind. Tumblers do not receive that bonus.
