    Ok, I am in postgame and have 6-star tera raids open, so everyone knows where I am in game.
    I am wondering why it is so damn hard to catch Pokémon. What I mean is I just got off Violet because I just wasted 5 ultra-balls 6 timer balls 1 quick balls and 4 timer balls trying to catch a level 31 ditto and the damn thing kept breaking free.
    I haven't had this happen every time, but it has happened once every 7 Pokémon I try to catch.
    I thought once you were this far into the game with all badges the Pokémon would be easier to catch. Yeah, I understand that it shouldn't be a guarantee catch each time, but this is ridiculous.
    So, am I the only one who has had this issue with catching Pokémon for time to time?

    I've never had any issues catching Pokémon. Are you taking the time to weaken the Pokémon to critical health, taking catch rates into consideration, inflicting them with status conditions to increase their catch rates, and using moves such as False Swipe? Also, different types of Poké Balls have different catch rates as well. For example, Pokémon with lower catch rates are best caught in Ultra Balls after weakening them to critical health and inflicting them status conditions. While they all increase a Pokémon's catch rate, Sleep is the best status condition to increase catch rate.
     
    Yes, I am taking the time to weaken the dittos, but I am still going through 10 plus poke balls sometimes. There are times it only takes the quick ball. I don't get why I am having this issue.

    Are you paralyzing them or putting them to sleep as well? That also helps considerably. That's why it's always good to have Pokémon that can inflict status conditions.
