I’m having a hard time catching this Pokémon. What can I do to make it easier?
Here are some tips to help you catch Pokémon:
Try putting the Pokémon to sleep. A sleeping Pokémon is easier to catch. In order to do this, you must have a Pokémon that uses an attack that puts other Pokémon to sleep. An example of this type of attack is Hypnosis. Some Pokémon cannot be caught while they are asleep, but after waking up, they will be weaker. Also, try using a combination of Balls. If one Ball won’t work, try using a weaker one. As a last resort, follow these steps to easily catch a Pokémon with any type of Ball:
1. Get into a battle with any Pokémon.
2. Use any type of Ball on the Pokémon. If you have difficulty using normal Poké Balls, try more powerful ones to increase your chances even more.
3. As soon as you see the Ball explode, press and hold the B Button. The timing for this is very important. You must press B just as the Ball explodes, which can be difficult.
4. After the ball wobbles for the second time, release the B Button and the Pokémon should be captured.This trick will not work every time, but it will increase your chances of catching the Pokémon. It is not necessary to do any damage to the Pokémon. Some, like Mewtwo and Zapdos, will have to be put to sleep before the Ball will hit them.
