Advanced Tips for Catching Pokemon

The Pokemon with higher Combat Power (CP) is more difficult to capture. First- or second-evolution Pokemon tend to have higher CP. To catch such Pokemons successfully, you may use items and additional Poke balls with higher tier

When you tap and hold the Poke ball, colored circles appear around the Pokemon. This colored circle will be either green, yellow, orange or red, and those colors tell you how difficult the Pokemon is to capture:

In Pokemon Go, the Pokemon does not escape suddenly. The Pokemon does not take any actions until you toss Poke balls or use items.

Summary

• Incense and Lure Module to Attract Wild Pokemon
• Razz Berry to Increase Capture Rate
• Using Great Ball or Other Better Balls
• Switching Off AR

You need to find a lot of Pokemon to increase capture rate. Incense and Lure Module help you see many Pokemon by attracting Pokemon to your location or to a PokeStop.

When you find Pokemon with higher CP or legendary Pokemon, throw a Razz Berry to them. The capture rate for the next Poke Ball gets higher. Razz Berry is unlocked at trainer level 8.

You may use Great balls or better Poke balls to have a higher chance of capture. As same as normal Poke Ball, these better ball types can be used in combination with Razz Berry.

Turning off AR is a simple but the best way to make tossing Poke balls easier. This stabilize the Pokemon in the center of the screen, and make easier to throw Poke balls at them.

If Poke Balls hit in the colored circle to capture Pokemon, you can gain bonus Experience Points(XP). The bonuses vary from Nice to Excellent based on the size of the circle, with the bonus XP increasing as the circle shrinks.

Capture Bonuses and XP Gained

By spinning the Poke ball before you throw it, you can add a curve to it. Using Curve Ball to capture gives you 10 XP bonus.
