Just yeet a Poké Ball at them, lol. But for real, weaken them first or use status effects like sleep or paralysis. Higher catch rates with those moves!

Catching Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is super straightforward but thrilling! First, you gotta make sure you've got some Poké Balls. Then, wander around the open world until you stumble upon a wild Pokémon. Battle it but be gentle; you wanna weaken it, not knock it out. Once its HP is low, toss a Poké Ball by selecting it from your Bag. Cross your fingers and hope it clicks shut! If the Pokémon breaks free, just try again or use a stronger Poké Ball. Remember, different times of day and areas might surprise you with unique Pokémon!

Don't overthink it. Wandering into grass and throwing Poké Balls works. But, bring lots of balls; some Pokémon are stubborn.

Honestly, it's all about having the right Poké Ball and a bit of luck. Ultra Balls > Poké Balls. And try at night for some cool catches!
