Using higher level Poké Balls like Great Balls or Ultra Balls can help prevent Pokémon from running away. Also, make sure to aim for the Pokémon's head for a better catch rate!
From my experience, turning on AR mode can help you better aim your throws and keep the Pokémon in view. Plus, it's fun seeing them in the real world!
Don't waste your time if the CP is too high—it's a common misconception, but some Pokémon are just too tough to catch.
Sometimes, it's all about patience. Wait for the Pokémon to attack, and then throw the Poké Ball while it's still settling down. Timing is key!
