[Feature][Balance] Add critical captures, update shake probability to match gen 6 (#4791)

* Change shake probability to match Gen 6

* Add critical captures, update shake probability to gen 6

* Change IntegerHolder to NumberHolder

* Adjust dex count thresholds for multiplier

* Disable critical captures in fresh start runs

* Skip first shake check for critical captures

* Move shake check for crit captures to after first shake

* Use less insane catch formula

* Integer to number in bounceanim signature

* Use max crit catch dex multiplier in daily runs

* Adjust crit capture animation
