This does not make any sense

CanineEmporer·4/6/2020 in General

Ok so I'm playing Crystal and I want to catch Heracross cause it will be strong against Whitney and I kinda like it. I luckily encounter one that is asleep. My Slowpoke used 2 Water guns and then I start chucking Great Balls at it. Did I catch it on the first try? NOPE. Second? NOPE. Fifth? NOPPPEEEEEEE.

Anyway, it woke up and my Slowpoke almost fainted. I was on my only Pokeball and threw it. And guess what? It worked.

I don't think this makes sense because of his sleepiness and I used Great Balls instead of Pokeballs. Yet I caught it when it woke up...

I'm still happy I actually caught it but I wish I didn't spend so much money on those Great Balls...

Btw this is my team now

Cannon/Quilava LV21

Chill/Slowpoke LV 19

Horns/Heracross LV10 (I gotta do some training with him)

Catch struggles are not that unique. Tell this to literally anyone who has a Falinks lol. I don’t think this is cause for a whole post though...

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that generation one had some coding issues that meant some status effect's actually made it more difficult to catch stuff instead of easier maybe gen two had similar issues

Same expirience I had a while ago. Before I was gonna go to norman's gym but I decided to ge a skymory first. I weakened it to red then used a great ball.

Failed for 1 time.

I had 1 great ball left so I used a premier ball.

Failed.

I paralyzed it and used my last great ball.

It worked!

Jk it failed.

Now I used one my normal pokeballs and it worked.

What do you think?
