The catching process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the Pokémon is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status condition]], at which point the Trainer throws a Poké Ball (or upgraded [[Poké Ball#Types of Poké Ball|version]]) at said Pokémon in order to catch it. Catching Pokémon is central to all [[canon]]s in the Pokémon franchise; a caught Pokémon can be used in battling and for quests to aid Trainers, whereas Pokémon in the wild cannot, except in some episodes in the anime. | The catching process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the Pokémon is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status condition]], at which point the Trainer throws a Poké Ball (or upgraded [[Poké Ball#Types of Poké Ball|version]]) at said Pokémon in order to catch it.

[[Pokémon GO]] introduced a different procedure in which the catching process involves accurately throwing a Poké Ball at a wild Pokémon without first weakening the Pokémon in battle. When pressing and holding down the Poké Ball, on the bottom of the screen, a colored target ring will appear in front of the wild Pokémon, constantly shrinking and immediately returning to its full size once it reaches the smallest size. The goal is to hit the Pokémon with a Poké Ball inside the target ring, when it is as small as possible, by flicking the ball towards the Pokémon. The smaller the ring when hit, the better the [[Catch rate (GO)|capture rate]] and the more [[Trainer level|XP]] is gained. Players can further increase their odds of capture using [[Berry|Berries]], higher-level Poké Balls, or by throwing Curveballs. | [[Pokémon GO]] introduced a different procedure in which the catching process involves accurately throwing a Poké Ball at a wild Pokémon without first weakening the Pokémon in battle.
