How to find, hunt, and catch rare Pokémon
How to catch rare Pokémon: Our guide to finding, hunting, and catching Pokémon, with tips on basic capture techniques and how to track down rare creatures. Whatever your ability level, we've got some tricks that should make things a whole lot easier.
By now, you've probably been playing Pokémon Go for a while, which means you're either close to becoming a hunting master or becoming infuriated with the lack of decent Poké-creatures cropping up. If you belong to the latter group, fear not – we've got some tips to help your hunting game.
One of the game's biggest mechanics is finding and catching Pokémon, and while developer Niantic has made the capturing process fairly straightforward, there are numerous ways to improve your chances of finding and catching the more powerful and rarer beasts.
Here's all you need to know.
HOW TO FIND PIKACHU IN POKÉMON GO
Before we get start explaining how the hunting and capture system works, you might be interested to know this easy tip. When the game first starts, you'll be asked to choose between three starting Pokémon: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. What you may not be aware of is that you're not limited to these choices.If you fancy nabbing Pikachu as your starting Pokémon, all you have to do is walk away from the three creatures you've been offered. Keep walking until your phone vibrates and they reappear. Repeat this about five or six times and Pikachu should pop up alongside the other Pokémon. Tap on him to start the capture screen and he should be yours. Simple.
Although Pikachu won't come with any particular power advantage, the little beast is an electric-type Pokémon, which seem to be quite rare in the game. As they can be effective against water-type creatures, it's worth trying to capture Pikachu if you can.
That said, you may well run across him in your travels throughout the rest of the game, although he seems to be quite rare.
FINDING POKÉMON – THE BASICS
So, you've signed up and you're ready to start catching Pokémon. By now, you should be aware that the game uses real-world maps, so finding the little beasts is a matter of actually walking around your local area.Pokémon will crop up as you walk around and the ones closest to you will be represented by small rustling grass symbols. Walk towards these symbols and, providing the seemingly constant server issues don't prevent it, the creature should appear on the map. Once it's visible, simply tap it to start the capture screen (more on this in the next section).
FINDING POKÉMON THE EASY WAY
For those less concerned with following the rules, you'll be pleased to know that the indefatigable ingenuity (read: unrelenting desire to cheat) of the internet has made finding Pokémon a whole lot easier. There's a tonne of maps and guides strewn across the web, dedicated to showing you exactly where to find the little beasts.For a long time, Pokévision was the most popular of these. It used the Pokémon Go API to provide up to date information on Poké locations, and generally meant you had to exert a lot less effort in the pursuit of Blastoise.
But it seems Niantic is none to pleased with recent efforts to game its system, as it's been shutting down these third-party apps left and right. But there's still a fair few online, and we just happen to have a full guide to the best ones in our Pokevision Alternatives article. You're welcome.
CATCHING POKÉMON
Once you've found a Pokémon, whether through your own efforts or by using a third-party app, you'll have to capture it in order to add it to your line-up of creatures. Although the capture system is fairly straightforward, there are a few tricks you can use to make things easier.The basic mechanic involves you swiping upwards on your screen to launch Pokéballs at the Pokémon. Using your index finger rather than your thumb should improve accuracy. If you manage to hit it, the ball will open up and the Pokémon will be encased.
Mostly, you should find that's the end of it, but sometimes the creature will break out. In which case there are some things you can do to try and up your capture game.
Capture circles
First of all, you'll notice when you tap and hold the Pokéball, before you swipe to throw, a circle appears around the Pokémon itself, with a coloured circle within it. This coloured circle gets progressively smaller and will be either green, orange or red depending on how difficult the Pokémon itself is to capture.
Wait until the circle is as small as possible, then try and throw the Pokéball so it hits the creature right in the circle itself. The smaller the circle was when you threw the ball, the more chance you have of ensuring a capture – as long as the ball lands within the circle.
For lower-level Pokémon, it doesn't really matter whether you hit the coloured circle or not – a direct hit on the Pokémon should end in a positive result. But for the higher-level creatures, you're going to want to try and hit the the circle at its smallest. You'll know if you've been successful in doing this, as a 'Nice' or 'Great' message should appear on-screen. What's more, you'll gain extra XP for performing these moves correctly.
Curveballs
Trying to catch one of the more belligerent Pokémon? Some of the creatures have taken to batting Pokéballs away or dodging throws, so you might run into some trouble every now and then. If you find yourself in this situation, you can try throwing a curveball to make things easier.
Just use your finger to spin the Pokéball before you throw it. Doing so will add a curve to its trajectory, making it harder for the Pokémon to dodge. It takes some getting used to, but can make the difference between nabbing a rare creature and walking away empty-handed.
Better Pokéballs
When you first start the game, you'll be using the normal Pokéballs, but as you progress through the levels, you will start getting more powerful versions. Other than the standard type, you'll also start to get Great and Ultimate balls from Pokéstops as you move up the levels.
We started noticing Great Pokéballs at around level 11, and are yet to encounter any Ultimate balls – which, from the sound of it, is a good thing. Once you start picking up these upgraded Pokéballs, you'll want to save them for the rarer Pokémon.
Throw from the top
Some Reddit users are claiming that throwing the ball from the top of the screen improves your chances of hitting the shrinking coloured circle. We haven't tried it yet, but by all means, give it a go and see what you think.Switch off AR
A simple way to make throwing Pokéballs easier is simply to switch AR mode off by tapping the slider in the top-right of the capture screen. This will centre the Pokémon, making them easier to chuck Pokéballs at.Razzberries
You should find yourself picking up a few Razzberries from Pokéstops as you travel around. During a capture scenario, tap the backpack icon in the bottom-right and select the fruit from the list. Now just tap the screen to throw it at the Pokémon. This should endear the little creature to you, making them easier to capture.
USING THE NEARBY TRACKER
When it comes to hunting down rarer Pokémon, the first tool at your disposal is the Nearby tracker, which can be opened by tapping the icon in the bottom-right of the screen. This shows you the Pokémon that are in your immediate vicinity. The one in the top right is the closest to you, while the one in the bottom left is furthest away. Distance used to be represented by little footsteps below each creature in the list, but Niantic has since removed this aspect of the tracker.It should be noted that the game's Nearby tracker has been decried as not fit for purpose by many players, to the point that Niantic removed the feature in a recent update and responded to say it was working on a fix. The feature has since returned, sans footprint icons, but whether complaints about Pokémon remaining in the Nearby tracker even after caught have been properly addressed remains to be seen. That said, we thought we'd give you a brief explainer anyway.
Thanks to Forbes writer Paul Tassi, who wrote his guide before the footsteps feature was removed, we've got a pretty good idea of how the system works now. The thing to remember is to keep the grid open when you're tracking a particular creature. This way you can keep an eye on whether it's moving up or down the grid. You can tap on its silhouette in order to mark it within the grid itself. Start walking around and keep an eye on the Pokémon you want to capture. If it starts moving down the list or gaining more footprints, walk in a different direction until it starts moving up the list.
Here's a helpful diagram on the Nearby tracking from Reddit user DJToaster:
Of course, this method limits you to the Pokémon in your particular area, and won't ensure any rare creatures pop up. But if you do happen to see an interesting silhouette appear on the tracker, it's the best way of making sure you get close enough to bag it.
SO HOW THE HELL DO I GET SOME RARE POKÉMON?
There are two types of rare Pokémon: Rare and Legendary. Obviously, the Legendary beasts will be more elusive than the Rare ones, but both are difficult to come across. It seems that rare creatures in one area could be quite common in another, so the best advice for capturing these Pokémon is to travel around as much as possible.The other way to ensure you start seeing rarer Pokémon is to move up the levels. The higher you are, the more likely you are to see rarer and higher-level beasts appear. Of course, once you've moved up the levels enough, you could always use one of the third-party maps to go straight to where the rare creatures are – if you don't mind being accused of cheating.
And finally, the guys over at Poké Assistant have compiled a list, based on user feedback from thousands of players, of what they say are 20 rare Pokémon:
Charizard
Ditto
Omastar
Charmeleon
Dragonair
Muk
Vaporeon
Machamp
Ivysaur
Venusaur
Blastoise
Nidoqueen
Nidoking
Vileplume
Poliwrath
Alakazam
Weepinbell
Victreebel

And that's all there is for now. We'll be updating with more tips as we discover them, so check back over the coming weeks for new ways to become a Pokémaster.
