Effect Holding it is said to increase the chance of getting a critical catch. Curiously, the charm doesn't shake much.

What is a Critical Capture?

A Critical Capture is a random event that boosts your chances of catching a Pokemon. You will notice this when you throw a Poke Ball, and it makes a different sound compared to normal. Additionally, it will shake mid-air and then shake only once compared to the usual three, as seen above.

Note that a Critical Capture does not guarantee a catch. It still has a low chance of failing.
