# Catch Combo

Your guide to Catch Combos!

You may have noticed a peculiar message in your chat box after catching a certain Pokémon in succession. This is called a **Catch Combo.** Catch combos are a very good way to catch higher quality Pokémon, and even potentially find a Shiny Pokémon!&#x20;

| Pokemon Caught | Odds Increase                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 0-10           | Standard catching odds.                                                                                                                                |
| 11-31          | After 11 Pokémon are caught, Pokémon will have 2 **guaranteed** perfect IVs, and have an extra 25% chance to spawn. Shiny luck is increased to 1/2048. |
| 32-51          | After 32 Pokémon are caught, Pokémon will have 3 **guaranteed** perfect IVs, and have an extra 50% chance to spawn. Shiny luck is increased to 1/1024. |
| 52 onward      | After 52 Pokémon are caught, Pokémon will have 4 **guaranteed** perfect IVs, and have an extra 85% chance to spawn. Shiny luck is increased to 1/683.  |

*Note: Ditto is exempt from these rules, and has different increases based on criterion.*

Once you start chaining your Pokémon, new Pokémon of that species that spawn in the area will be highlighted with a white glow to help them stand out.

It is important to note that Shiny and Legendary/Mythical/UB Pokémon caught **DO NOT** break your chain! So, if you see some sparkles around or a legendary spawns on you, don't be afraid to pounce at it! Additionally, you may knock out any Pokémon that you see, as it will not break your combo. **Only by catching a different species of Pokémon will you break your catch combo.**

To view your current Catch Combo, use the command `/combo info`. This command will show your current Catch Combo number, and the Pokémon you are currently hunting.
