Trigger Extensions: You may extend these keys with a species ID or a type ID to specify that they should only trigger when capturing a specific species, or species of a specific type. For example, <mark style="background-color:purple;">"AfterCapture\_PIKACHU"</mark> would trigger only when capturing a wild Pikachu, where <mark style="background-color:purple;">"FailedCapture\_ELECTRIC"</mark> would trigger only when you failed to capture any wild Electric-type.
