When catching a Pokémon, your goal is, similarly to the [[Safari Zone]] in the [[core series]] games, to catch it inside a [[Poké Ball]] before it runs away. Like in the Safari Zone, you can't use your other Pokémon in combat against wild Pokémon in Pokémon GO. | When catching a Pokémon, your goal is, similarly to the [[Safari Zone]] in the [[core series]] games, to catch it inside a [[Poké Ball]] before it runs away.

To run away from the Pokémon and end the encounter, tap the icon in the top-left corner. The Pokémon will still be present on the map in the case you change your mind. The toggle in the upper-right corner controls whether AR mode will be enabled. When enabled, the Pokémon will appear in the real world as shown through the camera on your device. The Pokémon's name and its Combat Power (CP) will appear above the Pokémon. | To run away from the Pokémon and end the encounter, tap the icon in the top-left corner.

The Bag icon in the bottom-right corner allows you to access items. [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] make the Pokémon easier to catch, and using [[Great Ball]]s, [[Ultra Ball]]s, and [[Master Ball]]s increase the chance of catching a wild Pokémon. The Camera icon above it lets you take pictures of the wild encounter. | The Bag icon in the bottom-right corner allows you to access items.

If the Pokémon runs away, don't worry. There are other Pokémon of that species to catch and more places to explore. If you caught the Pokémon, congratulations! You've got some XP, Stardust, and Candy for catching a Pokémon and a new partner for your Pokémon GO journey. | If the Pokémon runs away, don't worry.

Some Pokémon have special rules when being caught. [[Mew]] can only be caught with regular Poké Balls and this must be done in AR mode (although the latter requirement can be bypassed by exiting and re-entering the catch screen). | |||
