How to Catch Pokemon

You can also buy Pokemon GO Items at way cheaper prices with U7BUY right now! Catching Pokemon is one of if not the core mechanics and gameplay loops in Pokemon GO. In fact, the first thing that you will learn and be required to do is catch your first Pokemon! While there is already the in-game tutorial that will show you the ropes, there is still a couple other Pokemon GO tips that you should be aware of to help you progress to level 5 where you will unlock more features.

CP & Levels

When you find a Pokemon and try to catch them, you will notice next to their name their CP level number. The higher this number is compared to your own (which will be very low at the start), then the harder the Pokemon will be to catch by being more likely to break out of the Poke Ball. The same logic goes for Pokemon that are rare, so be sure to have plenty of Poke Balls ready before trying to capture them.

Pokemon that you find out in the wild also have a chance at trying to attack or dodge you, so make sure to not panic and throw your Poke Ball once they stay still. Each time that a Pokemon breaks out of a Poke Ball, there is a chance that they may run away. If so, then maybe wait until you level up a bit more before catching them again. Otherwise, keep throwing!

How To Increase Your Catch Success Rate

Even when you level up incredibly high in Pokemon GO, it isn’t always a guarantee that you will succeed at catching every Pokemon that you come across. However, the best way to help increase your catch success rate early on is by focusing on two things. The first is to pay attention to your Catch Medals for each Pokemon.

The more times that you catch a certain Pokemon, the more Catch Medals that you will earn. These medals essentially work as little upgrades that will increase the chance of successful catches for that type of Pokemon. This makes practicing catching all Pokemon no matter who it is absolutely crucial.

The other factor is improving how you actually catch your Pokemon in the middle of battle. Make sure that you time when you throw your Poke Balls as tightly as you can into the circle that spawns in front of them. The better that you time it, the more likely chance that the Pokemon will stay inside of the Poke Ball and become yours.

PokeStops & Gyms

While you can achieve plenty of Pokemon by just traveling a bit around your neighborhood or by performing everyday errands, you will have to do a bit more when finding a PokeStop or Gym. Pokestops are small places around your radar that when spun will give you a ton of rewards such as Potions, Berries, and more that can be used whether in battle or to catch more Pokemon. It can also give you a lot more Poke Balls, which are essential, so keep an eye out whenever you leave your home!

Then we get to the Pokemon Go Gyms. Gyms can be placed down by Pokemon Teams all around the world which is where you can battle other players and earn PokeCoins for free! When you are first starting out as a beginner Pokemon Trainer though, you won’t have to worry about participating in these Gyms for a while as most of them are incredibly competitive with very strong and long-trained Pokemon.

When you do decide to have your Pokemon join a Gym, you will need to feed them Berries over time to refill their Motivation heart bars. These bars essentially work like their stamina to keep them training in the Gym. Every 10 minutes that your Pokemon is in the Gym they will earn at least one PokeCoin to use for special items. It is also possible for Pokemon Go Raid battles to take place in these Gyms if there are timers above them where the real battles take place, so be prepared with your Potions and move sets that your Pokemon have.
