How to Stop Pokemon from Fleeing in Pokemon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered how to keep those pesky Pokemon from fleeing in Pokemon GO? You’re about to find out. In this guide, we’re answering one of the most burning questions: how do you stop Pokemon from running away in Pokemon GO?
Let’s dive straight into how to keep your encountered Pokemon from making a break for it, ensuring your efforts in Pokemon GO are always fruitful.
Quick Tips to Prevent Pokemon from Fleeing
The key to preventing Pokemon from fleeing lies in improving your catch strategy. First off, using Razz Berries before a throw can make Pokemon easier to catch. These tasty treats calm them down, making them less likely to run.
Next, mastering the art of curveballs is crucial. Not only do curveballs increase your catch rate, but they also add a stylish flare to your technique. Practice spinning the Poke Ball in a circular motion before releasing it to perfect your throw.
Why Do Pokemon Flee and How to Counteract
Pokemon might flee for a few reasons, often because they’re tough catches or you’ve encountered them too many times. Combat this by upgrading your Poke Balls to Great Balls or Ultra Balls if you’re after a particularly tricky catch. Keep an eye on your throwing technique and timing as well; throwing a Poke Ball when the colored circle is smaller increases your catch chances drastically.
Don’t forget about the medals you can earn by catching certain types of Pokemon. These not only brag rights but also improve your catch rate for those types. So, collect those medals and watch as your success rate with similar Pokemon improves.
