Why Do My Pokemon Keep Fleeing in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered why those tricky Pokemon keep darting away just when you’re about to catch them in Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into this playful mystery and uncover some answers.
So, you’ve been wandering around, phone in hand, and just as you’re ready to catch a cool Pokemon, it decides to pull a Houdini on you. Why does this keep happening in Pokemon GO?
Short Answer: It’s Part of the Game’s Challenge
Pokemon GO’s creators designed the game to have a bit of a challenge. Not every Pokemon is meant to be easy to catch. Factors like the Pokemon’s CP (Combat Power), the type of Poke Ball you use, and your throwing technique can all influence whether a Pokemon stays in the ball or decides to flee.
The chance of a Pokemon fleeing increases with its rarity and CP level. Higher CP Pokemon and rare species are naturally harder to catch, making the game more exciting and challenging. Plus, making sure your throw earns a ‘Nice,’ ‘Great,’ or ‘Excellent’ rating, and using Razz Berries can all lower the chances of them running away.
