Can a 'chance to catch' percentage be calculated with the color of the circle?
It is known that the color of the circle represents if the pokemon is currently hard or easy to catch.
But can that color be converted to a cold, hard number?
Like if it's all the way green, is it always, let's say, a 90% catch rate. And when it's all the way red, 1%?
PS because of the tought that this is a duplicate of Does CP determine the aggressiveness of a wild Pokemon?
- Not talking about the aggressiveness of the Pokemon. I'm talking about catch rate. If I would be to throw and touch with 100 PokeBalls to that pokemon, how many would break open and how many would catch.
- This Question has also no relation to CP. I already noticed that the CP has no effect on the color of the circle. I've seen some very low CP (20-40 CP) pokemon with a red circle before. For those wondering, I would say evolved forms have usually harder catchrates compared for the same CP.
- The question is basically is there a constant between the color of the cicle and the catch rate of the pokemon. Like I said before, would a green circle pokemon always stay in 90 pokeballs out of 100, and would a red circle pokemon stay in only 5 pokeballs out of 100. Looking for probabilities here.

Every species of Pok\xe9mon is assigned a base capture rate, a raw percentage that determines how difficult that species is to capture.

Answer 2
It can be calculated if not using Razz Berries, Curveballs or hitting Nice/Great/Excellent and hit the Pokémon when the circle becomes the largest, but also depends on your level and the Pokémon level.
The real capture chance of a Pokémon which is allowed to catch is always bigger than 4%, and increases as the Base Capture Rate increases.
