Catching Pokémon is easier when you understand the mechanics. Each Pokémon has a base catch rate—Legendaries are harder to catch. Using the right Poké Ball, lowering the Pokémon’s HP, and adding a status effect like sleep or paralysis all improve your chances.
Helpful Tools for Better Catches
Use tools like the Catch Rate Calculator to see your success odds, the Shiny Encounter Tool to estimate shiny chances, and the Flee Rate Predictor to stop Pokémon from escaping.
Tips for Rare Encounters
Chain fishing and SOS battles boost shiny odds in some games. Soft resetting works best for Legendary and Starter Pokémon. Some species only appear at certain times or in specific weather.
