Pokeball Button Combos
- Thread starter interspark
- Start date
I used to (well...still do) hold down on the D-pad and hold my breath as soon as the pokeball closes. Don't know why, it just became one of those weird habits
Press A and B rapidly, hold the Select button and press B/A rapidly, press B rapidly until the Pokemon is inside the Pokeball etc. Funny thing though, most of those suggestions came from one person.
Timer balls are Arceus' gift to man. (See what I did there?) Have 50 Timer Balls, 15 Ultra Balls (throw those first to pass the time) and a Smeargle with False swipe, Spore, Recover, and Foresight- You will be able to catch anything.
Down+B was always a classic, but what I actually do now is:
Use Pokeball in menu - continue to hold A
Pokeball appears in the battle scene - release A
Pokeball snaps shut - Hold A
Pokeball reaches the ground - Hold A + B
Probably does nothing, but I do it.

Down b. It feels like I'm holding hte pokeball close, even though it does nothing. Meh. I hate the inactiveness and powerlessness of throwing a pokeball.
With the old games, I turned my GB to another direction, turned the sound off, and waited. When that didn't work, I would mash A like crazy.
With the GBA and DS games, I would close my SP/DS slightly so that I don't see it, turn sound off, and wait. Then, mash A like crazy again.
If all else fails, in any game, I follow the ball with my eyes EXACTLY, only blinking at the exact moment the ball clicks to tell me I caught it.

i dont think that equation covers everything, for one thing it doesnt mention relative levels. think of it this way, at the start of the game to catch a ratata you have to use a tackle or two right? come back later with level 60s and jobs a good un! shake shake shake click! dont even have to battleGlademaster said:Seriously you think that's complicated try the EV training that is so complicated too Jesus I can't believe the actual hidden depth in the game.RikSharp said:i've never done any of the crazy things cos i figured they was all lies. turns out i was right.
It doesn't but that just goes to further show the actual hidden complexity in the game that people miss or ignore. I knew Pokemon wasn't for kids.interspark said:i dont think that equation covers everything, for one thing it doesnt mention relative levels. think of it this way, at the start of the game to catch a ratata you have to use a tackle or two right? come back later with level 60s and jobs a good un! shake shake shake click! dont even have to battleGlademaster said:Seriously you think that's complicated try the EV training that is so complicated too Jesus I can't believe the actual hidden depth in the game.RikSharp said:i've never done any of the crazy things cos i figured they was all lies. turns out i was right.
