Does lowering a wild Pokèmons stats increase the catch rate?

Question

I've always wondered this but never asked

Answer 1

The catch rate for a Pokémon is based on a formula. The formula does not take stat changes into account.

The formula for determining the capture of the Pokémon is as follows:

CatchValue = ((( 3 Max HP - 2 HP ) (Catch Rate Ball Modifier ) / (3 Max HP) ) Status Modifier
