Has anyone else experienced terrible luck catching Pokémon higher level than the ones you are using? I feel like the capture mechanics must've changed to take level difference into account.
I used 30 Great Balls on a 10% Edelgoss, which should've given me about a 50% chance. I tried a similar thing with Spritzee (which has 200 capture rate), using 5 balls that should've had an 80% chance. They all failed, then switched to a Pokémon that was higher level than it, and it worked on the first try.
Do you think they added some kind of soft cap to catching higher level Pokémon as well as the hard cap for Pokémon you can't catch at all? I didn't see anything about this in datamining but fuck man, this is unlikely
