Master catching Pokémon in Yellow with Great Balls and Ultra Balls. Understand their varying catch rates to secure even the rarest creatures.
To catch Pokémon, you'll need Poké Balls. Different types of Poké Balls have varying catch rates and costs.
- Poké Ball: Standard Poké Ball. 1x catch rate. (Available early, cheapest)
- Great Ball: Improved Poké Ball. 1.5x catch rate. (Available mid-game, good for stronger Pokémon)
- Ultra Ball: Best Poké Ball. 2x catch rate. (Available late-game, essential for rare/Legendary Pokémon)
- Master Ball: Catches any wild Pokémon without fail. Only one per game, usually obtained from the Team Rocket Hideout. Save it for a Legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo!
When trying to catch a Pokémon, it's best to weaken it first (reduce its HP) and inflict a status condition like Sleep or Paralysis to increase your chances of success.
