Palworld capture guide: spheres, bonuses, difficulty

Capture odds in Palworld 1.0 come down to four levers: the target's HP, its level versus your sphere tier, status ailments, and back hits. These are the real values from the game files: status ailments add 30% (sleep and darkness 35%), and a sphere that lands on a pal's back adds 50%.
