Just chuck it! Seriously, open your bag during a battle, select your Pokéball, and hit 'Use'. If you're not in a battle, you can't throw a Pokéball. So, make sure you're toe-to-toe with a wild Pokemon first.

Throwing a Pokéball in Pokemon Scarlet is simple but epic! Just get into a wild Pokemon battle, and once you've got the Pokemon's health down a bit, go into your bag, select the Pokéball, and choose 'Use'. Bam! Wait for the wiggle and hope for the best. Protip: Weakening the Pokemon and using status effects like sleep really ups your catch rate game.

Honestly, it's all in the timing. Get the Pokemon's HP low, maybe even inflict a status condition, then go to your bag, select a Pokéball, and 'Use' it. I caught my first legendary this way, and it felt like winning a mini-lottery.

Button mashing won't help. Lower HP, use the ball. That's it.

If you think just throwing the Pokéball is enough, you're gonna miss out. Weaken that Pokemon first, then toss your Pokéball. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
