Question

I was trying to catch Cresselia,and I threw a Ultra ball. It jumped!

Comments

jumped or shook in the air??

---

It jumped. I know what shake in the air looks like.

You sure it wasn't just bouncing??

Answer 1

If it shaked in mid-air,you're lucky.If a Poke ball shake in mid air the catch is succesfull without the 3 shakes on the ground.A normal catch is when the poke ball shakes 3 times.In some cases the ball shakes in mid air and the Pokemon is caught without 3 shakes.

It was on the ground and it did a little hop before it shook 3 times.

Answer 2

Ahhhh yes you see you have got what is known as a critical capture. It's a 1/16 chance of happening. At this time, the pokeball only shakes once. It gives you an easier time catching as it only has to shake one time to catch. You can still fail to catch if it doesn't shake.

What the hell does that have to do with a jumping Pokeball??

How did a pokeball jump

Did you read the question?? "I`m confused,my ultra ball jumped!". Your answer has nothing to do with that. She has already established that it was not a Critcal Capture.

---

It is critical capture!i have already catch a poke like that!sorry ,but it is :-D

---

Sorry, but you are wrong. If she knows what a CritCap is and she is still confused, it cannot be that.

When dud she say she knew what it was
