* Catch Rate: Legendary Pokémon have extremely low catch rates, usually in the single digits. This means that even with a perfect throw, there's still a very high chance they'll break free.
* Health Impact: A Pokémon's health directly affects its catch rate. The lower the health, the easier it is to catch.
* Status Conditions: Status conditions like sleep, freeze, or paralysis increase the chance of catching a Pokémon.
How to Catch Legendary Pokémon:
1. Weaken the Pokémon: Use your strongest Pokémon to lower its health as much as possible.
2. Apply Status Conditions: If you have a move that can put the Legendary Pokémon to sleep, freeze, or paralyze it, use it.
3. Use the Right Poké Balls: Poké Balls have the lowest catch rate, so you'll need to use better options like Great Balls or Ultra Balls, especially for Legendary Pokémon.
4. Aim for Perfect Throws: A perfect throw (curveball, excellent throw) increases your chance of catching a Pokémon.
5. Utilize Berries: Razz Berries significantly increase catch rate, while Golden Razz Berries offer the highest boost.
6. Patience: Be patient and persistent! Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to catch a Legendary Pokémon.
Remember: Even with all these strategies, there's always a chance that the Legendary Pokémon will break free. Don't give up, and keep trying!
