"(0.53.2) Catch circle colour now takes medal bonus into account?"


#PokemonGO: Recently I noticed catch circles seemed a bit greener than usual. I decided to test it with a Krabby by taking a screenshot before catching it, then calculate the catch chance (Poké Assistant) and compare to the circle colour.Krabby level 13Catch chance with Great Ball, no berry (ignoring curve ball, medal bonus, etc.): 55%Catch chance with Great Ball, no berry, plus gold medal (no curve ball, etc.): 64%Circle colour was RGB = (179,255,0) corresponding to approximately 65% catch rate, which is closer to the predicted catch rate when including the badge bonus.So either the badges get factored into the catch circle now, or they bumped up catch rates in general (or changed the formula for balls, etc.).More data would be needed to confirm what is happening:Different Pokémon at different levels, different balls, etc.Cases without a gold medal (e.g. only bronze medal, no medal, new account, etc.).Whether the circle colour now also changes when using a Razz berry.EDIT: Another example - a level 4 Voltorb with Great Ball and gold medal has a circle colour (26,255,0) or 95% catch chance. This matches up if the ball and medal bonus is included, but not if only the ball bonus is included. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2jrejLR
