How to Catch Hard Pokemon in Pokemon GO: Tips and Tricks
Last updated
Ever wondered how to snag those elusive, hard-to-catch Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone. Catching Pokemon can sometimes feel like a real adventure, especially when it comes to the rarer, stronger ones that just don’t want to stay inside their Poke Balls.
How do you make those tough catches and add them to your collection? Let’s dive into some strategies that can up your game.
Master the Art of the Perfect Throw
One key to catching hard Pokemon in Pokemon GO is mastering the art of the throw. You’ve got to get your Poke Ball to hit the Pokemon with precision. Practice throwing Curveballs by spinning the Poke Ball in a circular motion before throwing it. Curveballs not only increase your chances of catching the Pokemon but also give you extra XP.
Aiming for the colored circle that appears when you’re about to throw is crucial. The smaller the circle, the better your chances. Try to get a ‘Great’ or ‘Excellent’ throw by timing your throw when the circle has shrunk but just before it disappears. Timing and practice are everything here!
Use Berries to Your Advantage
Don’t forget about those handy Berries in your item bag. Razz Berries make Pokemon easier to catch, while Nanab Berries calm them down, making them less erratic. For the really tough catches, Golden Razz Berries are a game-changer. They significantly increase your catching chances.
Feeding a Berry to a Pokemon makes your next throw more effective. If the Pokemon breaks out, don’t worry! You can keep feeding it Berries to improve your chances on each subsequent throw.
