Poké Balls

Poké Balls are the items used to catch wild Pokémon. When a Poké Ball is thrown, the catch chance depends on the target, its remaining HP and status, and the selected ball.

Catching basics

Lower remaining HP and a status condition increase the catch chance. Sleep and freeze provide the largest status bonus. Break chance is the chance that a failed throw destroys the ball instead of dropping it for reuse.
