Your catching tatic?
 
What's Your catching tatic? Do you have a uniqie way?

My catching tatic is:

(if you chose bulbasaur, you should know this one)Since my Venusaur is too strong, i use leech seed on a non-grass Pokemon and wait for a while until it gets lower. i use parasect to keep lowering its accuarcy(i don't know why) sometimes when i have my ghastly, i use his confuse ray. After a small amount a HP, i throw a pokeball, great ball, or ultra ball.

ryan October 5th, 2004 6:23 PM

um... paralyze it, and then beat it up until it's weak.

AdamHays October 5th, 2004 6:23 PM

I lower them as low as i think i can without killing them,then i through the type of ball hold down and A & pray i catch whatever pokemon it is XD.

Put it to sleep with my might Gengar!! and then chuck balls at it, nope I don't lower its health, unless it a high level pokemon{legy pokemon}

If I don't feel like chucking a Master Ball at it, False Swipe+Spore+Ultra Ball/Special Balls such as Net/Dive/Timer/etc

AdamHays October 5th, 2004 8:24 PM

The masterball in my opinion is just a waste,cause theres no challenge from it,thats why i dont care what i use it on.Oh i also change me tactic,i usually use my scizors falseswipe then through a ball at until i catch it,probably not the most complex way but it works XD.

i usually just attack them till they reach red then i paralyze them or put them to sleep and i throw an ultra ball (usually catches with in the first try) =/

Mr Cat Dog October 5th, 2004 11:03 PM

Shedinja False Swipe for most things. For Pokemon that actually do have the power to inflict damage (and therefore kill), I just use my Sceptile's False Swipe. False Swipe power!!! XD

cranium October 5th, 2004 11:51 PM

i attack it til it gets really low, if its hp is really low i will bring out a weaker pokemon to nudge that health down a bit, then put it to sleep, thrwo balls, put it to sleep, throw balls etc

this is how i caught mewtwo, zapdos, articuno, moltres
all 1st time and all within 90 secs

Sctyher+ falseswipe+ paralysis causing attack=teh pwn

Desaparecidos October 6th, 2004 12:04 PM

i use my level 100 Marowak's False Swipe. it usually takes two hits to get a rare down to 1 hp, and only one hit for regulars.

seraphim October 6th, 2004 12:24 PM

i send out a high leveled pokemon, like lvl 99-100, then just toss ultra balls at it. the high lvl pokemon seem to decrease the morale of the other pokemon, making it easier to catch...it always seems easier to catch a pokemon when a lvl 100 jirachi is on the field instead of a lvl 56 metagross...it may just be a mind-trick like the button-mashing, tho...anyway, for legendaries, i slap them around a bit, paralyse tham, and throw ultra balls at them until they give up and stay in.

Star Crossed Dreamer October 6th, 2004 12:51 PM

I battle the Pokemon enough to weaken it to the red zone. Then I either Paralyze it or put it to sleep. Then I just throw Ultra Balls till I get it.

KaeL October 6th, 2004 1:19 PM

I just did this this morning to catch Zapdos. I use My Steelix's Dragon Breath to Paralize, then Rock Slide untill I cant use it without killing. Then I Dragon Breath untill I can't use it with out killing it. Then I switch in my level 35 Bellosom, use Acid to whittle away HP untill its super low ( Mabey 1-3 HP ) Then I chuck ultraballs and here is what I do: First I press Up+B when the ball has opened is right about to close. The reason for this, is because when i press Up+A and B Repeatedly, I usually catch the pokemon is the ball doesnt open asap. So, First i do Up+B, Then i do the A and B Repeated. On the Zapdos, I did the repeated A and B the first time and it broke the first time. Then i did Up+B then A and B and it worked like a charm :D
