I read at a pokemon gameboy site (dont remimber the site name) and it said that pressing any buttons while in the process of throwing a ball will do absolutely nothing, so Im going with that and not going to believe anything else that any one says.

Button tricks DO NOT WORK. Like it was said, it's all a psychological effect. I got the e-mail, Nintendo are just being retards

Throw safari balls like a lunatic. oh, BTW, mine also became a blissey, and it took down agatha of the elite four using only one move.

Actually from what I've read it does seem to work, I have quite a few friends who believe in it and they've caught some of the harder-to-catch legends (we're talking no sleep or paralyze, full health) (and just rare pokemon) easily this way. If Nintendo really did put that out, then there probably is some truth to it.

Believe what you want. I've tried it, just in case, on each Legendary I've encountered, and not once has it worked. I think, just to be on the safe side, you should stick to the tried-and-true method of weakening, paralyzing, & then throwing Ultra Balls

I didn't say I used that method, and it's not the holding B version; my friends use something similar... but hey, like I said, I have no clue since I don't use it myself. Yes, I will believe what I choose. ^.^

That does not work. I stopped beliveing it in RS, and me being so unlucky, It took me a week tring to catch Rayquaza, and I was doing that the entire time. It does not work, at all. Since I have no luck, I'm still trying to get Chansey.

Good for you and your non beleiving-ness, but for those who do..don't bash them please, just be curteous, nod your head slowly, roll your eyes and don't type anything. Their choice if they want to beleive it, just don't yell at them for it.

It's all psychological. A psuedo effect in your head. Anything that's "official in-game info" from Nintendo can also be given the name "worthless pile of dung" in my opinion.

Button bashing creates an image in your head that you will catch the Pokemon if you bash the buttons. Unless the buttons magically program themselves to help a PokeBall stay closed, they do not do anything! Capiche (sp? o_O)

Okay for one, I don't bash my SP's buttons; two, I didn't say I even used the button "trick", and three, don't flame people; if they wanna do it, let them do it. Has an actual psychological test been given to prove that this whole button-catch thing is really all that it is ?? Or has it been proven that it really doesn't work ?
I didn't think so.

So you can stop bashing me and anyone else here whom has the right to state their beliefs and opinions. Besides, chatting is all for fun anyway. :P

There's a difference between belief and fact. The buttons are not programmed to help a PokeBall shut. Nintendo have even admitted that. Anything you do do, DOES create a psychological effect, since you believe you will catch it, when there really isn't a much more of a chance than without pressing the buttons.

If it does work - then it's really down to pure luck. I once caught a Ho-oh by chucking an Ultra Ball when it had full HP - that's luck. Also - we're not flaming you. We're telling you in the nicesest possible way... without the need for everything to be capitalised and so on and so forth... ^_^

I understand the difference between belief and fact. More than you would ever know, especially for my age. :P

And in this case, like I said, I don't even use the button trick; I was standing up for the others by saying, don't bash em for what they believe. They wanna do it, let them. :P

I believe we should stop this discussion, at least I am. (Being nice is knowing when to stop and making your opinion with a polite gesture of words) After all, it's immature and pointless to continue debating on something no-one can prove.

Even though it has been proven... we should stop anyways - this is supposed to be about Chansey - not psycological effects of button bashing ^_^.

Does anyone here use Chansey/Blissey in their teams in-game and in Bots like NetBattle?

Are you kidding? Blissey is perhaps one of the most overused normal types, simply because of it's huge HP and Special Defence. They are next to impossible to take down with Special Attacks, forcing you to use physical sweepers like Machamp and Aerodactyl (but beware of Counter). Of course, Blissey is often partnered with Skarmory, as a way to defend against any physical attacks, making the dreaded combination known as Skarmbliss (which is actually losing it's power since everyone seems to have a way to destroy Skarmbliss nowadays, at least on NB).

I don't think you can. According to the PokeDex (and some guide on GameFAQs) on FRLG, Chansey can only be found in the Safari Zone.

You know, in Gold I "discovered" that if you press and hold Start and Select the moment the ball appears on the screen, you will catch the Pokémon if it's a level 15 female Butterfree in the Bug-Catching Contest, but not if it's anything else.

...for short, that B trick is a coincidence.

Anyway, I remember catching Chansey on Yellow by throwing Ball - Rock - Ball - Rock - Ball and so on. But of course it's just a matter of luck...

This trick isn't foolproof, but it dramatically increases your odds of a successful capture. You don't need to weaken a Pokémon beforehand, but some Pokémon, such as Mewtwo and Zapdos, need to first be put to sleep. "

if anyone wants proof, I will give you a screen shot of the email.
i remember catching zapdos without having it asleep, and using a great ball (once) with it's hp half full ._.
i didnt use that technique.. but i did something similar.. (sorry forgot what it was.. too long ago to remember) and i caught it :3
(fyi, i caught it in my yellow version) ._.
