The hell happened to catch rates on newer mons
Version Mascots for main non-remake versions have had a catachrate of 45 ever since Gen 5 because they've been mandatory catches ever since.
You can catch Solgaleo with no effort in any damn ball because it's suppose to join you. I think mine is in a fucking Heal Ball.

Mascot legends were always easy to catch. They have 30-45 catch rates while other legends have 3.

*Gen 4
Palkia and Dialga's were ~30 if I remember right, very close to chatot which was the big thing I noticed.

True, but Gen 5 marked the beginning of Mandatory Version Mascots so they boosted it further to 45, which is usually enough to capture something with low HP in most balls.
Beldum was a gift mon that was never meant to be caught. Then GF stopped caring and didn't alter the catch rate.

The best thing about catching Beldum is that its only move is take down, so once it wakes up it will immediately kill itself if it has low enough HP.

Not if you have a ghost pokemon out.

From the plot perspective it made me feel really bad.
Beldum's a special case, it's the only non-legendary with a bottom low catchrate

>Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are 45
>Kabuto, Omanyte and Aerodactyl are 45
>Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are 45
>Eevee is 45
>Lapras is 45
>Mr. Mime is 45
None of these Pokemon were available in the wild in Gen 1. There was never intended to be anything past Gen 1. Yet they have a catch rate of 45, not 3.

I used to do that, but now I do >>32360565

Yeah legends have gotten easier since they've became mandatory. On the bright side it helps if you want to catch them in special balls like the apricot balls
>>32359062
Beldum is probably the hardest mon to catch outside of some non story progress legendaries
