It always leaves a Pokémon with at least 1 HP. Use False Swipe: False Swipe is a move that, when used correctly, makes catching Pokémon much, much easier.If you're having trouble catching a certain Pokémon, try using a Pokémon that can inflict any one of these status conditions, preferably sleep or freeze. Use status conditions: Inflicting sleep or freeze onto your opponent will double your chances of a successful capture, while inflicting a burn, paralysis or poison will increase it by 50%.

There are many other types of Poké Ball that you can find, so try using the one that is most suited for what you are trying to catch. There are also Poké Balls which have specific effects, such as Quick Balls, which work best on the first turn of a battle. As you progress through the game, you'll be able to purchase better ones, such as Great Balls or Ultra Balls, which have higher success rates. Use specialized Poké Balls: While the basic Poké Ball will work in the early stages of the game, it becomes pretty much useless later on.While weakening Pokémon and using a Poké Ball is often enough to capture weaker Pokémon, you will probably have to do a little more to catch the stronger, rarer ones. Luckily, the majority of these aren't in the Unova Pokédex, so you can skip over them if you want. While some of the Pokémon found in Hidden Grottoes can also be attained through other methods, some of them must be found this way. All of the Pokémon that you encounter in a Hidden Grotto will have their Hidden abilities, which cannot be obtained through any other means except the Dream World. For every 256 steps that you take, there is a 5% chance that something will appear in a Hidden Grotto, unless there is something in it already. Special Wild Pokémon can be found in Hidden Grottoes scattered around the Unova region, which are a new feature introduced in Black and White 2. There are some Pokémon, such as Ducklett and Swanna, that can only be found through the use of phenomena. Sometimes you may find regular Pokémon, or items such as Gems and Wings. You will often find higher leveled or rarer Wild Pokémon in these than usual, but this is not guaranteed. There is also a fourth type which only appears on Driftveil Drawbridge and Marvelous Bridge: flying Pokémon's shadows, which you can walk into. While on your adventure, you will come across certain kinds of phenomena: rustling grass, which appears in tall grass, dust clouds, which appear in caves, and rippling water, which appears on water, and can be surfed on or fished in. You can increase this chance by using specialized Poké Balls or afflicting certain status conditions onto your opponent, such as Sleep or Paralysis. Between 10 and 15% is usually a good amount to lower it to. The lower a Pokémon's HP, the higher the chance that you will successfully capture it using a Poké Ball.

In order to successfully capture a Pokémon, you'll have to weaken it, but not too much so that it doesn't faint. Wild Pokémon can be encountered by walking in tall grass, walking through caves, walking in sand, surfing on water, and fishing.

Throughout your journey, you'll come across many Wild Pokémon which you can catch, which is how you will be obtaining the majority of the Pokémon in the Pokédex.
