    i tried it a few times softreseting, hard reseting nothing works. is the problem that i saved right infront of him?
    RDPateau 29 Jul 2021 14:46

    For those going in thinking this is daunting, bear in mind that gen 1 catch rates are kinda janky. Lowering health will only increase the catch rate by ~3% regardless of status condition, while putting to sleep will bump the catch rate up to ~21% even at full health

    was jancked for me catch that mustard pokemon...

    My Lv53 Jolteon with thunder wave, then a wild Lv64 chansei for lightscreen, then jolteon for thunderbolt, then lots of fullrestore and ultra balls.

    That was easier than expected but maybe I got really lucky. My strongest Pokemon was only a level 50 Jolteon, but I used Thunder Wave and Sand-Attack x6 to try to stay alive, and weakened him with Thunderbolt while he spammed Recover. Eventually he stopped recovering and it only took 4 Ultra Balls to catch him.

    Don't bother weakening him at all, it gives almost no increase in catch chance, a status (preferably sleep or freeze, paralysis is good too though) and then ultra balls is the way to go. Here are some odds to show why (all use Ultra Balls):

    Full Health- .526%
    1/3 health or lower - 3.74%
    Full Health Frozen/Asleep - 21.634%
    1/3 health or lower Frozen/Asleep - 23.752%
    Full Health Paralyzed/Burned/Poisoned - 11.594%
    1/3 health or lower Paralyzed/Burned/Poisoned - 14.493%

    This is true of basically all Pokemon with a low catch rate, status is the way to go and damage is a waste of time.

    apply was a rng catch,example: press any button before launch a hyper ball to mewtwo with the % point sample of 14ausher,is probably you catch that pokemon using the method rng and % point xd

    Thanks @14ausher! I slept Mewtwo and caught it first try with no health loss. =D

    Soulimpinho 24 Nov 2024 22:51

    Xelo 28 Nov 2024 21:20
    freeze is very helpful for this, caught it with regular pokeball
    DistantStars 4 Dec 2024 19:55
    One Sleep powder and 2 ultra balls, that was fast
    Gui250 28 Dec 2024 18:02
    Só botei ele pra dormir e joguei uma única ultra ball, fácil d+
    Sumbigboi 22 Jan 2025 20:26
    I guess i have a horseshoe up my ass cause i got them with just low health on the 1st ultra ball throw
    Nighto 18 Feb 2025 11:38
    I thought it would be harder but was fairly easy. First tried sleep powder with Venomoth but it said it wasn’t affected. Then switched to Articuno and attacked a couple of times with Blizzard until he was frozen. Then it took 4 ultra balls to catch it.
