# Catch Combo

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! 

| 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.*

When building a catch combo, it is important to note that Shiny Pokémon caught **DO NOT** break your chain! So, if you see some sparkles around, 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.
