Wild Pokémon Mechanics

The wild Pokémon will appear all out in the wild and allow for you to look at them. Some Pokémon will only appear at certain times of day and certain weathers. When the Pokémon spot you, they will react in different ways. Others will come to you and others will run away. You then need to weaken them in battle

After a Pokémon has been weakened, you can then throw the Poké Ball at them. Unlike past games, this actually requires you to get close to it and throw your ball. Different Poké Balls have different effects such as the Heavy Ball which is heavier than standard balls but works better on Pokémon that haven't noticed you.
