Maybe It's Just Me....

Is it me or is it almost too hard to catch pokemon?
For example,I have 10 pokwballs and get a tauros in the yellow health,I use all my pokeballs and still don't catch it!Is catching pokemon too hard?

Buy Great/Ultra Balls then. Also try and use something like T-Wave or Sleep Powder. That raises chances of catching a pokemon. I think Tauros is supposed to be hard to catch...

 

[NoobBattler]

just all pokemon in general are hard to catch for me

 

[Domino v1]

It always takes you ore than 1 pokeball to catch any pokemon?? Maybe you're just not weakening them enough.

 

[NoobBattler]

most of the time it does...

 

[Domino v1]

Well I never really have trouble catching pokemon. I mean yeah, sure, sometimes, pending on the pokemon. But not on like common pokemon. Everyone has a hard time catching some type. I guess your sh!t out of luck.

 

[Dragon_Reborn]

Yeah,there is some pokemon that are hard to catch like Chansey,Tauros,Pinsir,Kangskahn,Scyther,Legendary's,etc.Try using like Great and Ultra balls and use a status problems like Thunder Wave,Sleep Powder,Stun Spore,etc.It's better to get them in the red to catch them too.

God forbid you have to try in a videogame...

 

[alexanderrobertbarkas]

It's not hard for me.

You're not just gonna get it in one you need to weaken it alot and use Great balls. Put it to Sleep or Parylias. You are going to have a gr8ier Chance

I have this problem a lot too (when in whichever route it is with the volcanic ash and Spinda). Health goes down into the red... and not even Ultraballs can keep them contained for long.

Yeah, but Spinda??

Some pokemon, (Like the ones Dragon_Reborn posted) are harder to catch than others, to make the game more of a challenge. And of course, it's all luck if a pokeball catches a pokemon or not, so you'll just have to keep trying until you're luck enough to catch it.

I have found that pokemon in this game are harder to catch, maybe I'm not too lucky, or perhaps they actually made the game that way? Like in the bug catching contest, no matter how low I get pokemon's health down to, it ALWAYS takes at least 5-7 balls to catch it. Sometimes, I'll weaken a pokemon down to the red and end up using all 20 park balls, and still not catch it.

So, just use a lot of ultra balls, maybe inflict a status condition that DOES NOT MAKE THE POEKMON LOOSE HP, and maybe get a pokemon such as Scyther that learns false swipe, which can never kill a pokemon, so you can lower a poke down to a single hp and you won't have to worry about accidently killing it!

Then, try to catch it, but it's solely based on luck, so just keep on trying and trying until you get the pokemon!
Good luck!

Yeah, but Spinda??

Maybe because there are no Spindas on GSC?

For example,I have 10 pokwballs and get a tauros in the yellow health,I use all my pokeballs and still don't catch it

You should have at least 20 Ultra/Great balls with you at all times, Pokéballs just aren't enough. When you try to catch a Pokémon you should get it to red health instead of yellow. It also helps if you inflict the pokémon with Paralysis, Sleep or Frozen if it's possible.
