Environment conditions such as the current weather and time of day will affect the type of wild Pokemon that appear at various areas of the Hisui Region. Try visiting areas you have been to before under sunny, rainy, or snowy weather and during the day or at night to spot as many types of Pokemon as possible.
Sneak up on Pokemon to get near them.
Pokemon react differently when you approach them in the wild. Some are easily frightened and will immediately run away when they you get too close while others will attack you on sight. Try to observe how close you can get before a Pokemon senses your presence. This allows you to get a feel from how far you are able to reliably throw a Pokeball to catch certain Pokemon.
It should also be noted that certain Pokeballs, particularly the Heavy Ball, have a significantly shorter throwing range. This is, however, compensated by the ball’s increased success rate when catching Pokemon.
Practice throwing Pokeballs on land, in the air, and at sea.
Obtaining the Celestica Flute lets you ride Wyrdeer, Hisuian Braviary, and Basculegion on land, in the air, and at sea respectively. Try to get a feel for each mount’s movement and elevation until you are able to reliably aim Pokeballs (as well as various throwable items) at wild Pokemon.
Increasing Catch Success Rate
Weaken Pokemon by battling them.
Wild Pokemon are easier to catch when they have been significantly worn out. Send out your Pokemon to do battle with them and use Pokeballs when they the enemy has sustained considerable damage. The wild Pokemon should be too weak to struggle inside the Pokeball, giving you better chances of catching them.
Inflict status conditions.
Status ailments such as sleep and paralysis will prevent wild Pokemon from moving which makes them easier to catch. Try to bring along Pokemon that can inflict status conditions in your team, especially when exploring new areas in the Hisui Region.
