In Gold and Silver, these Pokémon's weights are retrieved correctly, giving them a -20 catch modifier. In Pokémon Crystal only, there is a glitch that causes the retrieved weights of Pokémon whose index numbers are divisible by 64 ( Kadabra, Tauros, and Sunflora) to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier. The catch rate used in the calculation is still modified as normal by the Heavy Ball, however. If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×). If the modified catch rate exceeds 255, it is instead set to 255. The modifiers used are listed below.Ģ25.8 lbs.
