How Does the Game Decide how many times a Pokeball rolls around when your trying to catch a pokeball?

Like
Sometimes it wont roll around
Sometimes it will roll once
Sometimes it will roll twice
Sometimes it will roll three times but not click


and Finally when caught, It will roll 3 times and click

What does the number of times the pokeball rolls mean?

I think HP and stuff like paralyse, sleep, frozen etc come into play, but I guess other than that it's random except for Master Ball.

Also,THERE IS A THREAD DEVOTED TO QUESTIONS ABOUT(FUNNILY ENOUGH) POKEMON.

Sayin' that, why did I answer your question...damn, migraine.

...this, plus the capture rate. The higher the capture rate, the easier it is to catch it. Say, a Mewtwo has a capture rate of 3, while a Weedle has a capture rate of something like 200.

There's actually a fairly complex calculation involved.

But to answer your question, it's based on RNs.

Dark Eevee provided links to the means of answering the question, great! Next time, use the Pokemon Questions thread.
