How to catch Chi-Yu in Pokemon Violet

Honestly, I wasted so many Pokeballs trying to catch Chi-Yu the regular way. What finally worked for me was using Quick Balls right at the start of the battle. If that doesn't do the trick, switching to Ultra Balls after weakening Chi-Yu was my go-to. Patience is key!

Catching Chi-Yu in Pokemon Violet is an adventure on its own! First, you gotta make sure you're in the right spot; Chi-Yu is a bit picky and likes hanging out in the Zero Gate area within the Great Crater of Paldea. You'll need to complete the main story to get here, so no shortcuts! Once there, prepare for a battle because Chi-Yu won't just walk into your Pokeball without a fight. Stock up on Pokeballs, especially Ultra Balls or Timer Balls, for a higher success rate. Chi-Yu is known for being a bit of a Houdini, so having a Pokemon that can use moves to put it to sleep or paralyze it can really turn the tide in your favor.
