Catching Pokémon becomes easier when you understand the mechanics behind it. Each species has a unique base catch rate, with Legendary Pokémon being harder to capture. Improve your chances by using the right Poké Ball, lowering the target’s HP, and inflicting status effects like sleep or paralysis. Our Catch Rate Calculator shows your odds, while the Shiny Encounter Tool and Flee Rate Predictor help track rare and shiny encounters. Boost shiny odds with chain fishing, SOS battles, or soft resetting. Certain Pokémon also appear only in specific weather or times. Use our tools to level up your catching success!
