To catch a wild Pokémon, you must first weaken it in battle. Once its HP is low, use a Poké Ball from your Bag. Different Poké Balls have different catch rates; for example, a Great Ball is more effective than a standard Poké Ball. Applying status conditions like Sleep or Paralysis can also significantly increase your chances of a successful capture. Building a diverse team of Pokémon is essential for tackling various challenges.
