Finding Wild Pokémon

Wild Pokémon appear in tall grass scattered across routes between towns. Head out from Pallet Town onto Route 1 and look for areas where the grass is visibly taller than regular vegetation.

Starting a Battle

Walk through tall grass until you encounter a wild Pokémon. A battle screen will appear automatically. Your starter Pokémon will be ready to fight.

Catching Mechanics

Reduce the wild Pokémon's health using attacks—lower health increases catch chance. Once weakened, throw a Poké Ball by selecting it from your bag during battle. The ball will shake; if it closes three times, the catch succeeds.
