How it works

Every Ball you throw at a species adds one broke. Ultra and Elemental Balls are thrown with the merit of all your brokes plus themselves: after 1,000, the next one counts as the 1,001st. Alliance and Premier Balls always count as the first, but they still add to the counter. Max Brokes is the community’s reference figure for each shiny tier.
