Pokeball Button Combos

[The DSM]

Down-Up-A.

Didnt work but i felt it did, and thats all that matters.

 

[dbmountain]

L, R, Start and Select all at once

 

[Rensenhito]

B+Down. I read it somewhere, and it did seem to increase my chances at least a little.

 

[MasterMongoose0]

I press B right as the ball opens

Then rock the Dpad back and forth with the rolling of the ball (which has changed from gen to gen).

Sometimes just Up + B if I'm feeling frisky
Sometimes just Down + B if I forget

3. start spinning
4. count to 15

I just mash random buttons.

 

[d4rkxy13x]

I actually find mashing ABABABABABABABABABABABAB starting from when the the trainer throws the ball works

 

[orc1231515]

Ball is flying, press nothing. Ball is rolling around with a Pokemon inside, mash A like my life depends on it.

sweet memories, used to do exactly the same thing.

 

[RikSharp]

i've never done any of the crazy things cos i figured they was all lies. turns out i was right.

 

[Azaradel]

You know, I never did the button mashing.

I do something even less likely to work.

I hold my breath.

Protip: It doesn't work.

 

[Blue22]

When I was younger I mashed the start button for some reason. I guess I had it in my mind that if I pressed start, the Pokéball would START to work. It didn't work, let me tell you. Darn you Chansey.

 

[TheTim]

I would tap a and b as fast as i could and it seemed to work for me.

 

[Baldry]

I try the A+B approach, ohh you know hitting then both rapidly. Its programmed in A,B,A,B...I may never be able to love again

 

[Berserker119]

I didn't know people actually did this until a couple weeks ago, when my friend caught 17 pokemon in a row jamming A and B down. It was weird, weird, luck.

 

[MetaKnight19]

As soon as the Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, I hold Down and B with incredible force. The D-Pad and B button are actually starting to recede into the DS.

[Mr. Google]

i forget one sec *gets out gameboy turns on pokemon find a crappy pokemon throws pokeball* alright i go while holding Down A B A B A B A B then mash B until its caught

 

[adderseal]

I would use my jedi powers. Worked EVERY TIME.
But seriously, it was down + b. I caught Azelf a few days ago by chucking a quick ball on the first turn. I had bought shitloads of potions and dusk balls and felt so cheated that I almost reset, before realizing that would be retarded.

 

[SnipErlite]

Mash B like your life depends on it. It helps!!
