3rd Gen your best way to catch pokemon.

[poke dude167]

my best way is to hold (B) right before all the stars come out of the ball after u through it.
(It realy works, i caught a kyogre at 1/2 hp doing this!)

 

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

No, sorry nothing like that works. That is completely coinsidence. I cannot tell you how many times people have said, "I caught Kyogre with a PokeBall at full HP!" It is really luck and blessing.

 

[.::Tsunami::.]

i just catch em no pertucular way^_^

 

[kohei]

But if it is my last Pokeball, I usually put my GBA on the sofa and pray.

Of course it doesn't raise the chances though :P

I think a better for for "coincidence" is "psychological." I'm baffled at why Nintendo is leading people on with this stuff.

And yes...praying works also. XD

 

[Virtual Chatot]

I dont think God, Butah, Islam, Mickey mouse, will grant digital prayers :-)


I have tried the B button and it seems to work but really it dosen't. It used to work in Pokemon GSC, i heard it raised your chances by 10%. Like the normal game would be 50% by 50%, but by pressing B you would have a 60% by 40%

 

[Dee Trier]

Read book or newspaper after few time see if it success or failure. Its not raise the chance but i like to do another thing beside watch the ball.

 

[Hinoshi-chan]

Presseing the b button and down for some reason is good luck for me

 

[Dee Trier]

There is no evidence that press B will raise up the Chance (if you say you capture [pokemon name especially legendary] with full hp its just "coincidence", because i also once catch Rayquaza with full hp and with a pokeball in first try without B button)

 

[Steven Hughes]

i press and hold the A button immedieatly when the ball closes. don't know if it works, but i still will do it anyway. (a habbit of doing it for years.)

 

[Shiny Meganium]

For years now, I have held A+Down. It doesn't work but it's a habit.

Thunderbolt, pray, throw pokeball/greatball/etc., pray again while rapidly pounding on the (A) button. Dunno about the (A) button thing, though...Habit, pure habit. ^^

 

[~Amethyst_Callista_Moon~]

I throw the (Poke/Great/Ultra) Ball at the pokemon, and press Down, B, Left, and Right. I was succsessful.

 

[Chryo Sphere]

I am confused with my game though. I catch Kyogre with 1 try. Groudon 2 tries, both with max HP. But Rayquaza, the 3 regis I just cant catch! I have even tried them with 1 HP (False swipe) While sleeping!! Still can't catch with Ultra ball. I have one explanation... my game's glitched @o@

 

[Joe_the_evilfox]

I hold up and B when the ball appears and hold A when the pokemon is in the ball. I dont know why I do this but I just do >_>

 

[ninjazakku]

I always keep on attacking it till the color of it's power changes to red... it always works!

 

[kohei]

I discovered a new technique.
I usually threaten my GBA before I throw a Pokeball... and it sorta seems to work... lol

 

[DARK MIGHTY LATIAS]

These dont work 100% of course but mine are best to me. Heres 2 of em

Hold A+B+L+R just until the pokeball is about to shake

Or L when the pokeball hits the pokemon, R when it shakes half way not once, then quickly turn over to L again and repeat this until it stops shaking. Just my ways of catching pokemon...

 

[Cidinho Faulk]

same of Steven Hughes, 3 years doing that.. its a habit from poke red :P

 

[Ralts]

My best way to catch pokemon......

My best way is keep giving damage to it until the hp is less than 1/3 (The Color is turned Yellow) and give it status problem. For best chance, give 'em status "Paralyzed" by using thunderwave, or whatever... then use pokeball, greatball, or ultraball..... and I never push anything while the pokeballs bouncing..... :D
