Raven Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I throw that Pokeball, and each time it bounces, I tap down and B, holding it down on the last bounce. But I reckon it does nothing where increasing the catch rate is concerned. Just me, or do others do this as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 That is a myth. It does not work nor has it ever worked. There's a specific formula for catching a pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I used to do something similar, before I realised it was a waste of time. I think I stopped doing it when I got to Ruby/Sapphire though >____< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masu Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I use to tap B alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldfox Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Weaken it, throw the ball, I catch it.... If i don't weaken it I just count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uguu Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I used to do something similar, before I realised it was a waste of time. I think I stopped doing it when I got to Ruby/Sapphire though >____< Same, except I mashed the A button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I never mashed buttons. I always knew it was BS. Weaken, throw, catch, nickname?, box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serene Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Speak the Devil I need to play Ruby again But here's how I do it 1. Weaken 2. throw Pokeball 3. Say "come on" over and over again till step four 4. If I don't get it I yell "son of a Bitch" Repeat step three 5. If I do get it, I yell "Ten points ass hole" 6. nickname it if I want to keep it in party or want to nickname it And that's the Suzaku method of catching a Pokemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Kilvas Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Throw a Quick Ball. And BAM. Pokemon caught. If it's ruby/sapphire. Throw an Ultra. Edited June 19, 2008 by Princess Kilvas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins Von Higgings Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yah back in the old days when I liked pokemon ( I stopped playing after the first 50 games) I used DOWN B.. It didn't do anything, but felt like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 false swipe ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I used to use false swipe(did you know that if you use false swipe on a pokemon with 1 hp, it dies?), but now....I have unlimited Master Balls in D/P....so I just use those if I'm too lazy to do it the old fashioned way....

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't play Pokemon anymore, but if I remember correctly what my strategy to capture Pokemon it was weakening them until they have red bar as possible and make them go either to Sleep or Paralyze. Thats the only solution I can think of pretty much at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGV Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 did you know that if you use false swipe on a pokemon with 1 hp, it dies? wait, are you sure. I remember using it mulitple times when a wild pokemon had 1hp and it didn't die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 did you know that if you use false swipe on a pokemon with 1 hp, it dies? Incorrect. False Swipe will NEVER kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins Von Higgings Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 False what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 False what? False swipe is a move that will get a pokemons hp to 1 and never kill. It's perfect for catching non-ghost pokemon (It's a normal type attack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 False swipe is a move that will get a pokemons hp to 1 and never kill. I heard from my friend that he killed a Pokemon with False swipe before(he said the pokemon already had 1 hp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I heard from my friend that he killed a Pokemon with False swipe before(he said the pokemon already had 1 hp). *checks* nope, he's wrong. Impossible to kill with false swipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 *checks* nope, he's wrong. Impossible to kill with false swipe Really now? Lemme check it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini-Saga Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 buy 500 pokeballs... Take out 75% of HP Paralyze and keep Throing balls till catch. My record Palkia in 50 Pokeballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
